Stubborn swingarm pins..... 7 years 8 months ago #13448

Any tips on how to get these turkeys out?

Looks like someone's had a go at them already - LHS one has been drilled and Helicoiled to M6.....RHS one the same but has the stub of an M6 bolt in the hole.....

I tried an M6 bolt in the LHS one and a slide hammer - nearly broke off a bolt on there and the pin didn't move a whisker. Had them "soaking" in penetrating fluid as well. Tried heating the surrounding frame with propane but still no joy....

Last night I drilled and tapped M8 threads in there but am waiting for the weekend to weld up an M8 adapter for the slide hammer.

Any other tips appreciated. Do I need some hotter gas? I've been eyeing off the Sawzall..... :angry:
