Hey all,
I am breathing some new life into my Santa Cruz Heckler 6.0 but have come to a grinding (literally) halt thanks to a seized pivot. All other bolts come out perfectly but when I tried to 'push' the pivot out it was stuck fast.
I have now tried WD40, a socket set and a hammer but no budging. I purchased some anti-seize spray yesterday and soaked it overnight but still nothing!
Has anyone come across this before? When I move the swingarm you can clearly see the bearings moving with the axle - so I am assuming they are fused together now!
The frame is a 6.0 model, so uses the pinch bolts, which are out.

Tried a dedicated bearing puller? (Superstar sell some good ones)
