  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

how to remove swing arm bolt

I am trying to remove the swing arm bolts from a 70 400 frame and a 72 125 frame. I have tapped with with a hard rubber hammer and they will not budge. Do I just tap harder? Any advice to this? Thanks.
 
When I built my 77 250 my swing arm bolt was frozen tight. I used ALOT of penetrating oil. I ended up using a little heat and an air hammer to get it out. Going to need new bushings/bearings and maybe a new bolt. Be persistent, good luck.
 
redman makes some good suggestions. In addition use a brass drift pin, or one thats steel with a smaller diameter than the bolt, and work it from both sides to create a back and forth movement.
 
All great suggestions.
Also you can use the nut on either side and start adding spacers, it will work and along with my fave pbblaster and Crashes back and forth method it should move. May take a lot of work and the load on the threads might do some harm
But it has to come out and Pics!!
Great Luck
