on the 73a has the bolt got a bolt head on it? If it has give it a turn then use a drift to knock it out. Make sure the drift is softer that the bolt so not to damage it. Wood, nylon or aluminium is ideal for a drift material.

Re: Swingarm Bolt - Stuck
I am working with the Frame and Swingarm stripped down. There is no suspension or anything else. Just a bare frame and swingarm at the moment. The pivot bolt is very jammed in! I have tried everything and it just wont move... It looks like a job of cutting it off now.
