What do i use to get the swing arm bolt out??

[Mr Brown]

Yea I ride to Evansville about twice a summer but I can't never find any motorcycle stuff goin on.

Depends what kinds of stuff you're looking for. There's a few clubs over that way, but the drag strip is closed. Over my way in Southern Illinois there are some fun twisty roads and a couple of active drag strips, and a local club that has rides etc. All depends on what you're in to.

Exact Same size bolt and nuts I'm guessing?

Just 2 nuts that fit the bolt. so you can turn the head of the bolt. One is used as a stop the other you turn in to the other nut for the bolt to turn

I'm into more street riding and street racing. I like to hit straight always and pound all 1300 cc's in the pavement!

Do you remember what size nuts you used as a tool to get the swing arm bolt out?

I used a bolt and 2 nuts to remove mine $1.50 at the local ACE.
A took a dial caliper to hard ware store and found a bolt that was size of the hole.

I DID THE SAME THING...…. I didn't wanna be called cheap anymore, so I didn't post up... I just eyeballed it and bought bolts and a bunch of nuts

It’s a 24mm hexagon socket, so 24mm bolt should do it(?)

That's exactly what I been doing but does it matter which end the swing arm bolt goes out? I'm wrenching and it feels like it's getting tighter.

Ok I finally got it. Feel like a big dummie. Now is this the correct way my swing arm bearings should be taken out my stock arm onto my new one?
