@NINJA I wished but I play the hands I’m dealt, I’m real struggling with the bolt that connects the linkage with the frame anyone have any tips it’s really stuck in there
@declan Squirt plenty of WD40 on it, let it soak in for a good hour then apply some heat. Use a nice long torque wrench and give it some welly. If that fails then repeat the first steps, then use an impact driver on the stubborn bugger.
SEDUCED BY THE DARK SIDE!!!

@NINJA there’s no way to put a socket or wrench on it I got the nut off and gave the bolt a few whacks but if I hit It anymore it will ruin the bolt
-
I put impact driver on bolt end and just kept spinning it and applying wd40, still not easy and takes a while :, leave for a day or two if necessary. Have spare swingarm end bearings soaking in diesel as we speak, Been there 3 days so far!

@oldman how can you get an impact on it? I can’t fit any of my spanner’s or any ratchets it fouls against the frame

Happened on my red one so a while ago, sure I used extension bar and impact driver, rotated bolt and kept lubing, was a right ba@#%&red to get out. You have my sympathy.
So I finally managed to hammer my linkage free I used a soft aluminium washer on the bolt so I didn’t damage it hitting it here’s a few pics of my bushings, thankfully all of my relay bolts are in almost perfect condition and the grease nipples aren’t seized! I cleaned them up real good for the picture

@oldman again was like that when I bought it I greased them when I got the bike I was using it as an off-road bike so I wasn’t bothered about pitting

Just a rough paint so far but you can see what I’m going for https://imgur.com/a/Zw6uzqJ

The yoke looks mint irl but it doesn’t show through on the camera it’s a wrinkle black paint which will be my accent paint for the bike and of course it had to be gold rims the gold is the faded vintage colour that I like -
