Default swingarm bolt

Have just gone to undo my swingarm bolt and the bolt just spins
The other side of s/arm bolt has the flat side to it but there is nothing there to stop it from spining? I assume that what ever was there to hold the end of the bolt from spining is gone......

Could it be that the bolt was tightened while sitting on top of the stop. Maybe have someone turn the bolt slowly and look for the stop and line it up and drive the bolt in. Or you could tack a nut on that side with a welder so you can hold the axle.

I'm pretty sure its part of the frame. Don't think it'd break off so as above, maybe not seated right. I'd double check. Could always try and use a big impact to crack the bolt off too.

Got s/arm bolt out easy once i got bolt to stop spinning.

Had to screw a bolt inbetween the end of s/arm bolt and frame as the tab/spot weld that stops the bolt spining isnt big enough.
