Done a search and the best method seems to be the sissor jack and frame job, Anyone got anymore ideas ? bike has the engine in and front end in all body work is off.
Tried the hammer but no luck but it turns when you put a socket on the end.
Bloody Swinger bolt .

lots of penatrating fluid and leave pressure pushing bolt and apply pressure again and again and it will start to move, whats happened is the bolt is jammed in the sleeve, so constant pressure and patience cheers wayne.

swing arm bolt
Tried and tried to get mine out, eventually buzzed it off with a thin disc and the bolt had corroded solid to the inner sleeve, it looked almost like a solid piece, it would have never pressed out.

cutting
You might find it easier with the bike on the floor on its side on a solid block of wood. Some times hammering it in both directings will help work it loose. use a punch or dolly to hammer the pivet so you don't burr it over.
If you have to cut it out some times you can strip everything out of the way and use an angle grinder with a 1mm or 0.8 cutting disc like skinnybob said. you will need to cut it in four places, sometimes I've used a chisel or scewdriver to hold the frame apart slightly to give you more room to cut it.
Use plenty of coppa slip when re-assembling new pivet to prevent it siezing in again.
Happy hammering!
