After hours of painstaking swing arm bolt removal I noticed I may have damaged the inner side of the bolt hole on the frame. This was probably due to me being an idiot and slamming a bolt that didn't fit properly in the hole in attempt to remove the swing arm. (I also had to grind out the swing...

Yeah also i found that the housing that sticks out seems to be soldered or welded to this washer looking piece... im going to mess with it tomorrow.

Damn the hole is over 30mm deep....... that sheath that sticks out is supposed to come out right? Maybe someone glued it in or something weird?

I have the exact same issue! However I didn't have the liberty of being able to take any screw out... my screw hole appears empty though I'm not sure if half the screw is just broken off? I was able to get off the c-clip (the little semi circle ring) but I'm not sure what to do next to remove...

Chopped up the frame and got in place a hoop!

True but see I'm stupid.

haha finally found the time and muscle to pull this bastard out of its cage! I pulled it from the right side all by myself and damn I nearly broke my back putting it up on the bench. Thing is probably like 200 pounds or something.

Thanks man!!!

@got20z love your blue bike!! Sick as hell. I think I'm going HF baby! lol. Question... when you made the weld... did you use a squared off butt joint or a beveled one? Did you use slugs? Did you leave a gap between the frame and the cafe hoop such that the welding material would touch all three...

wow thanks guys.... you think I could get away with some cheap welder like: https://www.amazon.com/Forney-Easy-Weld-299-120-Volt/dp/B016R0FCSQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1530291222&sr=8-2&keywords=easy+welder or the 100 dollar harbor freight chicago electric 125 welder? haha

@NewHavenMike what amperage of a welder did you use for this? I can tell you had a great quality lincoln. I'm planning to do the work in my garage (which I could pay an electrician to install a 220v) but i'm limited in what welders I can use. I was thinking of buying the Eastwood 135 to get the...

@NewHavenMike so the slugs.... am I supposed to somehow weld those in place? because otherwise they would just float around in the tubing no?

Thanks everyone!

@NewHavenMike That would be extremely helpful!!! Thank you so much!

@spectra do you have link to the one you bought and do you remember where you cut the frame?
