Thanks for the reply
not really any access to heat here, the good news is its out, had to buy a mash hammer as the mell was to awkward, i used an old railway sleeper bolt as a drift,
until i had got bolt head to frame, once i got past that point it came away with only a few bats.
Anyway not nice inside, chain side was not too bad as normal, the other side i was met with rollers falling out, plus the sleeves are shot.
so i have a choice now, try and get the bearings out or use the other swing arm, no contest i think, the other swinger is off an older bike and is in better condition, it has good bearings and the sleeves are good also, its exactly the same as the one i took off, i only bought it for the pivot bolt and as the whole thing was cheaper than a new pivot bolt i had to be on a winner, it even came with the linkages.
the only thing wrong with it was a broken bracket for the chain guard, easy fix !
