The video is private. We've been over this, don't make me hit you again. The swingarm is held on by the bolts to the engine case and the axle nut. Sometimes you have to get a wood stick like a 2X2 and tap through from the other side. Don't go mental on it, just keep tapping with a little force and it will work loose. Remember to swear, that always helps. Rich

haha yea the first time he hit me he touched my little heart too hard
got a gear puller from advanced auto and broke it trying to get the wheel off. I guess Ill try the 2x4 method now, but if it is so hard to take off wont it be hard to put on?

If you broke a gear puller you are doing some thing wrong. Likely there is a nut or a bolt you are over looking.

Take a pic of the end of the axle where the nut was attached.

Right, that pic was taken before it snowed yesterday and was taken by mistake while preparing the phone for the video. I loathe taking the bike apart again. As you should be able to see from the video there was a nut and a small spacer that came out and there appears to be another spacer behind it which I'm assuming is the problem. It is supposed to snow again tomorrow so depending on when I get the chance and when it starts to faal i will be able to take another picture. For now do you have any more advice? I wasn't able to put the swing arm all the way back on either.

The bearing is stuck, try some penetrating oil and you might try heating it with a charcoal lighter. I see what you're saying about the video but it really isn't that clear. Here's a swingarm I took off of a Bashan 150:
The red arrows point to the attachment points. If they are loose the only thing holding it is the bearing.
