het all
I need some help from the group. I am pulling the rear bits of the pan of 'step child' and have looked at a dead end. How do you get the swing arm off where it joins the pan in the centre? There is a three grooved sort of thing there, but how do you get it all apart?
Reason for this is to clean the whole thing, repaint (ie: get rid of the red dust that is growing inside the tunnel etc), and rebuild confident that everyhting is in the best condition it can be.
Any advise welcome 馃檪

Ooops,
should have said its a 68 auto pan with IRS. Its the swing arm connecting diagonally from the pan to the rear wheel bearings/axle

If you're talking about where the swing (IRS) arm attaches to the pivot boxes right next to the frame forks? If so there should be a big 17mm Allen head bolt that holds it all in (unless I am thinking of a different part). You can buy 17mm Allen head attachments for a socket, or you can make your own by welding two 17mm bolts together (the threads - best to shorten them) - put one bolt head into the allen head bolt and use the other bolt head to turn via a socket etc. I use it for gearbox drain plugs as well. Crude but it works! Otherwise I think you can double nut a 17mm bolt and do the same thing.
Ignore this if you are talking about something else! I used the above "tool" to undo an IRS rear end recently though.

Nope thats the part alright.
One of the other reasons I want to pull it all apart 馃檪 Its full of crap, mud and other stuff. I found the hex shape tonight when my neighbour decided to take a look. I will get a 17mm allen head attachment tomorrow after work.
Thanks
