[QUOTE="FJReady, post: 1265019, member: 465"] I've had my swing arm off twice for cleaning and lube service with no trouble. First off, do you have a service manual to refer to? The pictures help. If not send me a pm with an email address and I can send you a couple photos I took during disassembly. Second, I've never had to remove the mufflers, but I can appreciate it gives you more room to work. Getting the swing arm pivot out: Remove the 27mm nut on right side, Remove the lock/jam nut on the bike's left side. The Pivot (swingarm axle, if you will) is threaded into the left side of the bikes frame. You'll need a 19mm (3/4") hex, same as your front wheel axle, to unscrew the swing arm pivot. It should come right out. When you're done cleaning and lubing, there is a process for tightening the axle, jam nut and right nut. I'll see if I can get you those steps and torque values. [/QUOTE]
