Well its been a VICE GRIP GARAGE kind of day. I worked for hours today getting this 2006 Mastiff’s swingarm off, both pivot bolts were seized, pivot shaft seized, frame adjuster seized, it took hammers lots of vice grips, heat, 3 foot long breaker bar, impact tools and lots of effort. For anyone putting this stuff back together again make sure you use anti-seize I found none and that’s why everything was seized up. And now I know my frame is threaded for the frame adjuster, I did not think this is what I would find. It was a battle, i’m done for the day, my next move will be to clean everything up measure out all the new parts, mock it up, using a lot of anti-seize. Just for future reference anybody doing this if you’ve got AN-6 caps they fit our oil lines oil and tank and helps keeps debris out of the lines and tank.
