yea or use like a punch.you could put the nut back on it and tap it with a hammer but not to hard to get it started then use a screwdriver like yb said or a punch
i tryed that i put the nut back on and beat the s**t out of it and it wont move i even tryed to hit it and screw it out at the same time
somebody replaced my swing arm bolt with a piece of all thread that was a bastard to get out wore grooves in everything had to beat on it forever but finally got it out and replaced all bushings, bolt, etc
probably had no grease in there from someone not putting grease in there before they put the bolt in.try to get some pb blaster in there some how.can you turn the bolt?
is the frame proped up from underneath....sometimes it will bind up from the shock pushing down on the swinger and make it hard to get the bolt out
i got the frame up on a jack stand right now and the swinger is hanging with the shock attached it just wont come out at all i try useing a air rachet and everything i hit it with a hammer pretty dam had but it wont budge
Sounds like it is siezed to the bearings inside. Soak it with penateating oil for a day or two with on it's side then beat the hell out of it while having someone turning the bolt. If possable you should try removing the lower rear shock bolt to relive any tension on the swinger bolt and have someone else hold the swinger up.

next bet would be take some marvel mystery oil and put some in there i have taken many seized parts off with it
i never heard of that stuff where can u buy it and i soaked it with wd40 and beat the sh*t out of it while my friend was turning it and i wont come out
Got a blaster from the coast once with the same problem, ended up being just like fioz600r said, the bolt was seized to the bearings. Get a bigger hammer, as long as the bolt is turning it is free from the motor so you won't damage the rear mount, all the bearings and the bolt are junk any way so swing away. I ended up with an 8 lb. sledge and a large punch
ok thanks bro cause i got everything off except the winger shock and motor im just pissed cause i want ok get this frame painted
I had a blunt bit for my air hammer I had to use also. I had the nut almost all the way on and it still walked the threads back a little....3/4" air hose moved the air hammer a lil. Had to wail on that biotch to get it out...thank god for a die...14mm x 1.75 maybe? I dont remember. Heat always helps also.
