My swing arm collar was stuck too. I ended up not making a video for it. The best way to do it is to get a threaded rod, a socket that is wide enough to allow the collar to travel out of the swingarm and still set against the wall of the swingarm. So big enough for the collar to past through and still rest on the swing arm. As you turn a set of nuts and washers, it should pull the collar through enough that you can get it loose. Let me know if you run into any issues. Mine was so stuck, I applied so much torque to the nuts that I started to bend the threaded rod. Good luck.
I ended up using a hacksaw to cut partial way, added some WD40 overnight and then took a pipe and hammer and they came right out. Don't know if it was the hacksaw, the WD40, or the big hammer that made the difference.
That's a good way to do it. You never know what finally gets something unstuck, it's a roll of the dice. You just keep throwing stuff at it until it works.
I searched through by GoPro, I never ended up finishing this video. There are two ways to do it. You can rent (for free) a blind hole puller set from AutoZone. www.autozone.com/loan-a-tools/blind-hole-puller-set. The other thing you can do is run a hacksaw through the tube, and carefully saw through the bearing. It's discussed here: forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=102742.0. Good luck and let me know if you have any issues.
I cut through my swing arm bushings with a hacksaw blade made three individual cuts on each side and they just pop right out only took a couple of minutes per side all together I was done in less than 10 minutes
Hi! Where's the video where you remove the swingarm pivot bushings and bearings?
Awesome. Wondering if you uploaded your other video to show how to remove the swing arm collar?
