Hi all,

Before I go at it like the proverbial bull in a China shop I thought I would seek the advice of the collective.

I thought I would drop the swing arm and gog bone out this afternoon for a thorough greasing etc.

However, the forward end of the bone that goes through the frame is fouling the header pipe and there is no room to manouvre it past the pipework.

I have removed all the springs but cannot get any movement in the pipework to get the bolt past, I understood that I should be able to get past the pipework but no way.

do I have to disconnect one of the header pipe flanges from the head in order to get some movement on the pipework?
If so which is the easiest to remove.

I did try to post a pic but photobucket isn't playing nicely.

Many thanks

Phil
