Removing Swingarm On A 93 Vfr750

I'm trying to figure out how to remove the swingarm on my 93 VFR750. I got the rear wheel and brakes off. I removed the pivot bolt and the nut. There seems to be a sleeve still in the pivot. I'm pretty sure I need to remove the "adjusting bolt", but it will not budge. I broke an extension trying to get it out. What the heck am I doing wrong?

Yes, after you remove the 'nut' on the swingarm pivot shaft, the next step is to remove the collar under it, it screws out. You're supposed to use a Honda special tool, but you can make one or improvise if you know what you're doing.

I used a grade 8 bolt and made my own tool to remove that nut. I used a breaker bar and a pipe and broke the bolt. I tried both directions. Is it normal thread or reverse thread?

Does the bolt you're trying to remove have a castle-shaped locking nut around it?

It did, but I removed the castle nut before trying to remove it. After the castle nut is removed the one below it should come out, right?

Yup. Try dousing with PB Blaster, let it soak for a couple hours.

Remove the castle nut on the other side as well and spray that nut too. Once you loosen one, the other will be really easy to take out.
