I had the same problem, tried everything with it.I even used a BFH(14lb sledge hammer)!!! I had to drill the bolt out on both sides, because the bushing inside the swing arm seized to the bolt.I messed with it for over a day before deciding to drill out the bolt.You'll also need good drill bits. I had to buy a new nut and bolt from yamaha for 20 something dollars. Also every year so it does not happen to me again. I remove the bolt and put grease on it.

if you do get it apart, tap and zerk your swinger. It will keep it from binding up for next time.

I was thinking about doing that to, but I didn't know how much clearance there was. What size grease zerk did u use?
