[QUOTE="raceready99, post: 945865, member: 41889"] I had the same exact problem on a 02 YZ125. I also was using 3 guys the same exact way. What I did was pounded on it for about an hour straight. It still wouldn't budge. I didn't want to heat that housing because the aluminum melts very easy. That would cause a lot of damage. I heated where the motor holds the pivot with a burnsamatic and it didn't even seem to help. What I did was sprayed a penatrating oil all over that thing and let it sit for about 2 weeks. The same 3 guys went back to pounding and it would only budge about a 1/4 inch. We would pound that pivot back and fourth until we finally got the pivot to go flush with the frame. Then we were lost because now we no longer could use that nut. So we found a stainless steel rod and pounded it in and out. We screwed up the threads on the pivot and I had to buy a new one that cost $30. I also had to buy a new nut and washer that costed around $45. Take my advice for what it is worth. Just keep on pounding on it and hope it works.You will disgusted when you see what those bearings look like in there once you finally get that pivot out. Best of luck to you! [/QUOTE]
