Dapers, Forget my first post, complete bollocks got mixed up with a mates bike as well, this may help---
Â
KLR 650 stuck swing arm bolt in the rear shock pivot it did defeat the local garage press but when i realized the bearings were a left and right job with a 10mm gap in the middle I drilled the pivot big enough to get a WD40 tube into and kept squirting unti a brown mess started coming out then with the frame upside down I hit it with a rubber mallet first one direction and then the other with the bolt done up until it was freed up and the bolt just tapped out like it should.Bearings were shot and I did get a second hand pivot thingy and drilled it in the center and tapped it for a 6mm grease nipple.

Even if you only had one big bearing in there you could drill to it and still squirt right in there and replace bearing
