Any ideas how to get the pivot bolt out on the swing arm. Tried blaster and nothing.

Make sure the jam nut is off or at least loose first, it's a 6mm allen hex, If that's rounded off you're going to have a tough time getting that sucker out. You can sometimes pound a 1/4" hex bit into the rounded out 6mm. Failing that get someone to weld a large nut onto that pivot bolt and it should come out.
