That pesky swingarm bolt

[AZRickD]

I've taken the shock and forks out to have them R&R-ed by PaloVerde Suspension here in Phoenix tomorrow. While I'm in there I'd like to grease the bearings front and rear. For some reason the swingarm bolt won't budge.

I see the welded stop on the right side which means that the bolt has to go out to the left side. But on the left side is a very small opening, perhaps blocked by a bearing or seal.

How does one deal with this? My .pdf manual doesn't show an exploded view of this area.

Thanks in advance for not calling me a dummy (or other derisive derivations of same).
