Still waiting on parts for the DRZ so set about removing the carb to clean up. Not something I intended to do straight away but may as well while I wait for the other bits.

Then carried on trying to free up the stuck swingarm pivot bolt. Resorting to spraying it at the joins with it lying on it's side and soaking instead of hammering it. Managed to crush my finger using the brute force method the other day and didn't notice until my glove made strange squishy noises, which I found out was because it was full of blood.
Got a decent propane torch on order too to get a bit of heat on there inbetween soaking it with penetrating oil. Got a feeling it's going to be a slow process over quite a few days.
