How to Remove a Motorcycle Swing ArmOn behalf of Expert Village my name is Seth Williams I work D-K service and I'm here to tell you about simple street bike brake repair and inspection. Once you have your nut and your cotter pin off the swing arm will come out either way as you can see it's just slided out sometimes they will get caught sometimes you need a hammer and a punch. Sometimes you need a pair of pliers or something these are greased so make sure that they don't touch the ground otherwise you'll get foreign objects in them and will hinder your barrings. After that you can see the wheel canners come around here undue your drive chain from the sprocket, and those just come off. Usually with fair ease mind your spacers and all that, what am I getting stuck on here, there we go. And the rear wheel is free like I said watch your spacers make sure those go back on the proper sides, with the street bikes you have cush drive make sure that's out gives you a relative ease at getting to your bike components. Once that's done the caliper swings free as you can see it just kinds of hangs there make sure you don't press into your brake pedal it will pressurize the system, you'll have to depressurize it to get your brake router back in.

The video on How to Remove a Swing Arm would be very useful but I cannot play it. Each time I try I get the How to Remove a Wheel and I cannot progress any further.
