Tom,

Once you remove the swing arm pivot spindles the swing arm should just pull
straight away from the frame. I removed the rear drive and all of the brake
rods etc..

Hi all,

I got the rear wheel off, and mufflers and rear drive. I cannot get the
swing-arm out of the frame!!

I did it before, but I don't remember how I got it out. It is hitting
the bar that the brake lever controls.

Now, the bike is on the centerstand and that may be where the problem
is. I may have to set the bike on a jack, put the centerstand up, then
pull the swing-arm out. Neat trick with no rear wheel on it!

The u-joint is in perfect shape!! Woo-Hoo!!!

Oh, also, how do I get the baked on crud off the bottom of the
mufflers??????????

Thanks...
