When motorbikes go for those big long naps.
Always grease those swing arm bolts every year. This one has around 140mm buried in a steel frame that's all pretty corroded, never ever been out of there lol. An 800nm capable air gun didn't touch it.
Chopped the threaded end off, centre drilled it as deep as poss. Then taken it out to 1mm less than OD, slowly turning the rotten bolt into chips. One battery does about 30 to 40mm depth. Then leave overnight full of kroil. Eventually there will be success.
