What was it?

 

I was trying to remove the pivot shaft. The manual says to hold the left hex spacer and remove right side screw well I did this and the problem was that the left came loose , anyway when I got home from work this evening I noticed that there was enough of the pivot shaft sticking out for me to get a pair of channel locks on to hold the left side of the shaft back to get the right side bolt loose. I got the right side loose no problem and the pivot shaft pushed out easily.

 

Glad I was able to help LOL!!!!

It was the pivot shaft but you were right it only comes out the left side.

What prevents it from coming out from the other side? I'm intrigued!

 

I can't tell you what prevents from coming out the other side. I tried to get it out the right side it didn't budge. When I got the right side bolt and spacer off I was able to push the shady out the left side very easy.

The reason the shaft only comes out from the left side is because the bracket that holds the rubber bushing on the shaft is built into the frame on the right side and the hole in it is the size of the bolt that goes in the end of shaft. So there's noway the shaft will go out that side. The bracket bolts on to the frame on the left side. On the older frames both the right and left brackets are bolted to the frame. The shaft ran through both these bracket with nuts on the ends of shaft. Those you could remove the shaft from either side. Next time use a 3/8" impact to remove bolts from the ends of shaft. Usually it will buzz the bolts out, even if the shaft spins.
