It sometimes helps to turn the bolt backwards. It'll straighten out and
you can feel it fall off the end thread- then turn it forwards to catch.
Doesn't always work, but when it does- it does. Try it without the
swingarm first to generally check the threads and fitment.

I borrowed the tap from Greg Bender (thanks again Greg) and chased the threads because I thought that maybe powder coating on the threads may have contributed. But I'm still having trouble with that side. Anybody have tips on getting things to line up? I am putting it back on with the wheel still attached (left it on when I took it apart to pull the trans.)
