Part: Arm
Operation: How to change a swing arm

First you need to loosen the wheel nuts. Then lift the car on the bridge or with a hydraulic jack. Then complete the disassembly of the wheel and then open the portion of sheet metal folded around the hub nut with a tool. Then loosen the nut with the wrench. Now if you are using the jack you have to reposition it in order to raise the car as much as possible. Then place additional jack stands and reposition the jack. Remove the safety pin and loosen the nut always adequately evaluating the type of work and the tools available in order not to find yourself unable to finish the job. Continue by unscrewing the brake hose holder. Since they are screws exposed to dust, it is advisable to use cleaning products so as not to force them, risking to ruin the thread. With a flat iron try to widen the brake calipers. Then unscrew the screws and remove the brake caliper block and also the disc. With a hammer take out the pin as shown in the video. At this point, use the extractor to extract the joint. Tools required: bench vice, hydraulic jack, tripods, release spray, torch, hammer, joint extractor, split pins / pins, ratchet wrench, 19-17-12 mm sockets, nose pliers, possible screw gun / unscrews with compressed air.
