Mine was frozen also. Apply some heat with a propane torch to the thread area that will break it loose.

Standard thread, must be frozen. Might want to try PB blaster or some other penetrating lube before putting heat on the painted swingarm.

Try an impact driver. The kind you hit with a hammer. That's what I had to use to get one of my front Pinch bolts off.
