2002 M2L swing arm re-instalment
Hey guys. I'm new to forum stoked to have found it! And I'm in need of help.
when replacing swing arm into place(for belt replacement) I just snugged it up into place.. one swing arm bolt or isolator bolt goes in great.. the right side of bike on the other hand, is lined up but the bushing or isolator ( the rubber) is preventing the bolt from setting in flush and threading into place... It is off by 1/4 inch with prying and wrestling I can get it to a 16th of an inch.. but that is is still enough to pitch the bolt where as I CANT GET IT TO THREAD!!: ) it is not stripped..
Is there a trick to this or something I'm missing? or does it just become a matter of just being patient and prying and rearranging until it works?
Any advise would be so appreciated. I'm so close to smooth sailing if I can get this in!!!: ) thank you!! Ride on!!!

I was thinking about trying to find one myself. Anyone got an EXTRA for sale?
