Swingarm axle stuck!

[Shorty_925]

Anyone got any good tips on how to get a swingarm axle out of a yz450f? Its stuck in and not moving/budging at all. Ive coated in CRC tonight and hoping that the CRC will work some magic, but if anyone's got an ideas on what else to do? Ive been giving it a tap to see if it would move at all but its not. When lifting the swingarm, the axle moves slightly then stays locked.

Generaly one fucking big hit with a hammer is worth more than 200 light taps......

If your going to rely on soaking with a penetrating oil be prepared to leave it for a few days to get any penetration, otherwise use heat.

+1 for big hammer, i used a piece of aluminium instead of wood for the buffer, the wood soaks up too much of the "shock" needed to move the stuck axle.
