Hi all, I'm trying to remove the rear wheel (having read the 'how to' section) of my XB9SXin order to replace the bearings, but as i turn the axle, the swinging arm starts to splay apart. Is this normal, or should i be concerned? I'd hate to damage the swinging arm. any ideas? thanks in advance, Dan |

have a read of this thread in the how to viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1329 if the swingarm is forced apart too much you can damage it. try clamping the swingarm together with tie down straps or something |

Axle is seized in the bearings, if you force things the weld to the oil tank will fracture. |

ratchet strap the swing arm as a brace and be very careful. |
