DRIVE SHAFT LUBE

[ohiojack]

I'm planning to pull my driveshaft this winter to check and lube. I noticed in my service manual it states that I have to pull the trunk, saddlebags and hardware before I pull the swing arm. Also what do you guys do/use to retorque the swing arm bolt. I finished today flushing my clutch fluid and changed my antifreeze. I had to flush the cooling system 3 times and the fill reserve bottle a half a dozen times. I had a lot of rust in the system. I'm quessing that it was never done. The clutch fluid looked like mud. Getting the bike ready for Wisconsin next year. ohiojack

I do not remember removing the trunk to remove the swingarm.To torque the swingarm bolts,if I recall they are allen head bolts,and with all the allen head bolts we run into on farm equipment, we have several sets of allen head sockets in our repair shop that are 3/8 and 1/2 drive which torque wrenches will drive.I will know for sure when I replace my drive shaft with my freshly greased one this [winter maintainence] season as I also replace my rear tire.
