I was trying to pull the swing arm from my 1972 commando and right when I thought i had it figured out it there were no threads on the right side of the spindle for the 1/2in x 20 bolt to pull it out. The bike was nickle plated by my dad in the 70's and he put the bike back together. Is it possible when he put the spindle back in he put the threaded side towards the primary case? Also if i pull the whole primary will i be able to remove the spindle from the left side? Its the little things like this that make me want to go crazy.
