rear pivot bolt removal tool?

[jgcable]

I am removing the motor on my 2003 XB9R and I am almost there. The only question I have is regarding the rear pivot bolt. This is the bolt that goes through the swingarm. What type of tool is required to remove this bolt? Its enormous. Also, do I need to loosen up the hex head bolt that is vertical going through the rear swing arm on the brake side?

the same tool to get your tires off your bike.

loosen up the hex on the belt side, I'm pretty sure that's the side it's on , and rrh is right it's the tire tool

Yup same tool come out from the right side. Dont forget to remove the pinch bolt

I thought the pinch bolt was the hex he mentioned, or at least that's how I took it

Sorry you said hex on belt side so I assumed you were talking about the actual swing arm bolt and how it is removed on the right side. Guess we're on the same page
