Hey, I'm in the process of taking apart the swing arm for regreasing. I'm having trouble removing the hollow axle from the main bb pivot; The one in which the black axle bolt passes through. I'm quite unfamiliar with the procedure, I've tried to remove it with moderate force using a 11mm socket, but nothing move. Is there any danger of damaging the axle while trying to get it out of there ? any suggestion on the procedure to take ?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I was able to remove it gently; I didn't removed the grease port bolt at first.

On a schematic devinci released for a 2009 wilson I think, they were suggesting using lithium soap grease for the pivots... The grease I use the most is phil woods and a teflon enriched grease; would any of those be suitable to re-grease my pivots ?

Thanks!
