be carefull not to smash the threads when you hit it. try turning it and tapping it with the nut on the bolt, not tight but enough so you can get the bolt moving then you can take the nut off and work it out. i sometimes take a 3/8 extension to help push it through.
Used Blaster Swingarm Bolt Yamaha 2002 B128-50 - eBay (item 280638938077 end time Mar-10-11 13:11:34 PST) did you try turning the head of the bolt? does it turn at all? hit it with some pb blaster and let it soak in real good.

its a 20 dollor bolt new... OEM Parts Yamaha BLASTER (YFS200M) 2000 REAR ARM - Cheap Cycle Parts #13 put a breaker bar or impact on the bolt, this will at least help you get it free'd up and keep spraying it with pb blaster. take your time i will come out...
Okay be sensible here, its obvious that there is most of the weight of the engine on that bolt, get someone to lift up the engine a bit to release the pressure while you have a hammer and some form of punch to hit the end of the bolt and it should fall out.
yep, put the other bolts back in for now, get the weight off it, pb blaster the hell out of it, get it broke free by turning it,
i had to lay my bike on it's side and used a piece of oak board and a sledge hammer to get mine out the first time

When you get it out, be sure to coat it with Never Seize and put the nut on the chain side. This is a trick that a racer tought me at the track. It's so that if your chain bunches up on you it's possible to just pull that nut off and get the chain loose. It's helped me a bunch.
