How do I remove this thing? I have the nut off the right side but the thng won't budge.
Ahh thanks. I found them, they are definitely plastic. They are stuck in good. I will definitely try your trick. Thanks!The plastic bushings are inside the swingarm once you get it off the bike. They are black so they might blend in. The ID of the plastic bushings is smaller than the ID of the swingarm hole, so you can just slip a long screwdriver in there from the opposite side and catch the lip of the bushing, then tap it out with a hammer. Mine came out with almost no force whatsoever. Maybe the previous owner has already installed the bronze bushings on your bike. That would be a treat, since it was a huge hassle for me to get the bronze ones in my swingarm. They just didn't want to go in.

(friggin' guy installed new bushings but no way to grease them).
