Is my swing arm bent?

Post by Gary0003 »

Just removed the driveshaft from my 07 r1200rtp. Should it just pull out once disconnected at the front? Mine was binding against the rim of the rear hole. I had to put a screwdriver through the joint and tap it out to get it free where the shaft gets wider.

No, they can be a bugger to get out
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.
May the shaft be with you
