CB77 left rear photo a few hours into disassembly. I am very pleased with how easily this bike is coming apart.

No such luck G-Man. It's obscured by the grease I'm applying. The good news is I'm still on the first of the three P's.

Yes it turns with tolerable resistance. No binding or seizing.

Sounds like it should move ... Good luck with the 2nd and 3rd 'P'... :-)

I had to use a Harley hammer to drive out the swing arm bolt. I will definitely use a press to reinstall it.
Here is the bare frame. I've got a shop close by that specializes in industrial coatings and they do very nice work. They sandblasted and powder coated my last CB160 frame for around 150 dollars. They can do a medium gloss black or a high gloss. I still don't understand how glossy these frame were when new. Since I am rechroming and polishing, I should probably go with the hi gloss, right?
