Honda 400ex: Broken Swingarm Bolt Repair 

Just did mine on my 400ex last night. The atv god was with me because the swing arm bolt came out with a tap of a hammer with one hit lol just got mine from JEhonda and what a difference these are! Luckily I’m local with him.

Thanks for great content. 👍

Great Video! Mine Was not broken, so that was A Plus, but I needed to remove that bolt to get my engine out. That was A Pain! My Bearings look good, but I think I'm just going to use Factory parts, I might get the Bolt from JE Honda. Or I might just do like A Lot of others do, once a year remove the bolt and grease it all up.

Just did my 04 ltz, I took the nut off and used a impact both ways just spinning the bolt, I then got a threaded small piece of rebar and stuck it all the way thru I used nuts and washers and a metal socket and ratchet and popped it right out, mine wasn’t bad but had the swing arm off anyway and just like my carrier they had Oem Japan bearings from when it was made

I need those bushings and that bolt..do you have info to purchase them? I have same problem

If the bolt isn't broken is it possible to thread it out

Smart with the puler trick with the socket I feel stupid I took a Sawza to it

Just got a swingarm bolt out of a RM250 - this has to be the worst to get out on any bike. BEST thing to do on any of them buy it and take it apart and grease.

I’m dealing with this exact issue on my 03 400ex. I have to cut the bolt to get the swing arm out but now I have the bolt stock in the case and it won’t budge at all, any tips on how you got yours out? Thanks

LOL I change my mind not thumbs down thumbs up I don't know why but that was really entertaining to watch

I also had to cut that bolt on my 400ex but its stuck in the engine block pretty good, did you have any problem with the bolt seized in the engine?

I haded the same problem cut it with blowtorch right off im going to do the same thing to my pivot bolt

What deill but did you use to bore out the swingarm?????

How many races did you get on those bushings, before needing to be replaced? * Plastic bushings *

I am currently having to drill out my entire swingarm bolt due to it being see used in the case, very bad design on Hondas part, I’ve tried literally everything else

where I can find them??

I see you are a fan of VGG as well. Lol

Where can I order that same part
