Insert the guide pin tool into the non
drive side of the 57.5 mm Ti stud and use a dead blow hammer to tap
the stud out of the frame. Be prepared to catch the stud as it exits the drive

Remove the male main pivot bolt
from the female main pivot pin with a 5mm allen key. Use a punch
and a dead blow hammer to remove the main pivot pin from the swingarm
and front triangle.

Brace the front triangle of the frame with your body
while removing the main pivot pin. This will help prevent any damage to the
front triangle and swingarm, and will allow for easier removal of the pin.

Use an adequate sized punch to prevent damage to the threads in the
main pivot pin.
