Hello, I'm having trouble removing the swingarm isolator bolts on my 2000 M2. After much struggle the right side finally gave but the left side just doesn't move. Seems if I use the same amount of leverage as the right, the left bolt may snap. Is there a trick to this? I'm using only hand tools. Is the left side normal thread, not left hand or anything like that right? Oh, these are just hex bolts 1/2". Any help appreciated Thanks |

I had to stand on mine to get them out, but I can't remember if the left side is reverse thread or not...I'll check my manual tonight if I can remember... |

check both my manual and the old ones as the bolts came with some aluminum inserts I am using. The are both regular thread-the left is not reverse... |

electric impact gun from Sears will help a great deal (if you don't have air in your shop) -- well worth the dough |
