Well, more than maintanence, I was pulling the swing arm of today to prepare for my motor swap, and nothign went right. I just did this to my other RC two weeks ago, so I knew that I was doing. But unlike the other RC, this one gave me hell.
Pound, pulling, pushing, beating etc.... not even budging.
More pounding - solution to lots of problems, finally it budged.
Seemed there was some rust on the pivot/axle and the damn thing did not want to come loose. It was so tight is actually pulled one of the bushings partially out of the swing arm. It took three times as long on this one than the last. I need to remember to clean the other one up and get some lube on it before I install it.
Hopefully the rest goes smoother
