Default anybody familiar with dirtbikes? CR80 swing arm bolt frozen

i figured i'd ask one of you guys before i go somewhere else and make myself look like an *** lol. i can't get this damn swingarm/motor to frame bolt out its frozen, but i dont want to torch it because theres dust seals and bearings in the swing arm. i've already pounded the ---- out of it with my 3lb hammer anybody know an easier less destructive way? i've already broken enough ---- on this bike

man up, get yourself a 3 ft pipe.

* hotrex is right, throw the thing in the dumpster

naw, if you got the nut off, go to the other side and there should be the head of the bolt.. put a ratchet on it and turn it out while pulling.. it should come out, (also never seen this) don't leave your ---- out in the snow.

on my old kx i had that happen now that i think of it.

the frame tabs that hold the shaft were rounded so it just spun.

get your *** in there with some needle nose vise grips and put some muscle into .,

just play some fiddy cents and go "gangsta" on it.

try some swear words and yelling, that seems to work fo rme

it doesnt even budge and the nut is off, its not spinning at all and the bike is not junk yet its a 01 cr80. i need to get this last bolt out so i can rebuild the bottom end. 50 isn't too motivating i have a better chance of freein that bitch up listen to eye of the tiger lol

also you linkage should be the first thing to come apart when doing a swingarm r&r, besides the rear wheel.

just cause its a 01 doesnt mean it cant be junk, ive seen plenty of 05's ready for the heap.

sounds like the bearings are so far gone that the shaft has rusted solid to the shot races.

sell the bike to me for 200 dollars.
