I fought with mine. The bolt would not come out after pounding on it, using plenty of penetrating oil, I broke a big c-clamp, tried an air hammer, tried cutting with a reciprocating saw, bought another c-clamp and cranked it down and left it for days while hitting it with a hammer to break it free, used some heat, all to no avail.

I had to get a heavy duty air hammer to work it loose and then cut the head off with a plasma cutter.

Edit: The swingarm was removed without a fight - the bolt that goes through the frame for the linkage was the problem child.
