did you take the weight off the swingarm?

use a phillips head screwdriver, and hit it out with a hammer. should come right would.
just make sure you are hitting it the right direction.

i had a frame with nuthin on it but rear shock still on all i did was take bolt off top where is the weight at on it

 

[sheeblast]

just have something wiggle the grab bar up and down while you hit the bolt out.

the bushing could be jammed in the hole maybe?

they mean to jack up the quad by the frame to take the weight off the swing arm

When in doubt get the cutting torch out, well that might end bad. You could just use some penetrating oil and an air chisel, it gets anything off.

pb blaster and a bigger hammer!!!!
and definately have the frame on something, i've even strapped my grab bar to the ceiling, if not, when the bolt does come out, the top frame will drop and possibly pinch your arm/hand/fingers in between the frame and swinger

lift the rear of the quad up while trying to get the bolt out as it takes off the pressure!

Take a flat ended punch tool stick it in until it stops against the bolt and take your hammer and tap it out but have some one lift it up by the grab bar or something. You can't hurt it and if you do bushings are like $3 a pair.
