Hi all, I have just spent the afternoon in the garage removing my swingarm to start spoofing up the bike as has been neglected a bit since getting the CBRRR I hear you all say!! The problem I have come up against is the rear caliper of which there are two parts one in cast ally and the other painted. There are two dowel type guides one I have managed to get out the one with the clever idea of putting an option to use a spanner to remove it the other is a total Grrr and will not move. I have now left it to soak over night, but any other ideas. Force has been used and still nothing! Any advice is always welcome.

And christ the Haynes manual is garbage when it comes to removing the swingarm as it neglaects to tell you how you're supposed to support the bike.
