Honda CR250 engine removal

[Pinchers]

Ive been working on a old CR250 (1994) ive been trying to remove the engine but been havin some problems, im trying to remove the pin that holds the back of the engine in and also holds the rear swing arm on, im having alot of probs getting the pin out so that i can seperate everything, can anyone give me and advice?

Well this is quite a generic problem.
I have what sounds like the exact same problem with my XR400, so perhaps have a look at my thread in the XR forum on that. Haven't got time to find it at the moment.

Heat is also worth thinking about.
I'd also consider posting in the bike tech forum as some people won't look in here and shifting a stuck bolt is something we've all faced!
In fact I'll duplicate the thread for you, but I'm going to change the title to "Removing a stuck bolt".

Get a metal drift of the right size and knock the bolt out with a hammer. They get a bit stiff, so spray WD40 over the end.
