Frame is now bare other than the final bit of linkage which I cannot budge. It appears to have a small bolt one side that screws in to the larger bolt section. Can anyone shed any light on removal? Access to it is only from an angle because of the frame so punching it out might damage it?
i had to batter it out with a 1/2 inch extention bar it was in solid all down to bad maintenence if there regularly greased the just push out lol, some people over look all this coz its out the way if u damage it theres plenty about lol
It came out, i had to beat the hell out of it though. i screwed the small bolt in most of the way so i did not damage the internal thread and got it moving, then removed that and carried on.
I always get my blow tourch out and ROAST stuff like that. So satisfying when it turns or moves with ease while smoking. All good when you are replacing stuff, but half the time if it's that bad the bearings and bushes will be to.
ok after afew days of trying to get the bolt out with wd40 and some paintance... i gave up... got a big hammer and a morter chissell only took 3/4 hits...
so now i need a new linkage bolt (or set)
now ive spent more time searching the internet for a new bolt......... anyone got any ideas of where i can go?? links appricated
Sure you damaged the linkage lol.Must have been some hits with the hammer lol. Looks like you need sleeves and bearing for the linkage. You will just have to get the genuine nut and bolt from yammy. Someone on here is selling a linkage yhough! Did you not cookthat son of a bitch before the hammer and chizel ha ha.
na not the linkage just the bolt, the linkage is fine... dirty ... but fine. got a full bearing kit coming so thats not a issue. just want a new bolt coz the smaller inser bolt is pretty ducked.
Lol I know what that stuff cost, replaced the whole lot with genuine parts.Have you managed to salvage the bearings and bushes out the swinger you are getting done.
That " kit " is two bearings and two seals lol, 22 more componets of the rear linkage to go lol, I learnt that lesson when I received that kit lol with the words of wtf haha
