Built like a rock
Hello all. Ive been prepping my 05 for a engine swap and got everything perfect except for removing the rear tire.....when i attempted to remove this it went terribly astray!!! Does anyone here have any advice to now get this friggin thing off? Triumphs service manual instruction are terrible!
So with the bike lifted I started to loosen and remove the spindle lock nut- turning left. This yielded no results. Further along the more i tried i was noticing my friggin swing arm was bending and flexing inward?!! So panicking i removed what i could with spindle nut still attached-the shocks, tourque bolt, and some other nuts from the left hub of tire...again further no results. Installed the tourque nut and tried turning the spindle nut right ways thinking this was a reverse thread...aghhh!! No better results other than a twisted looking swing arm..
Any advice where to from here? Thanks
