Reign

Maestro murder...detectives required
Hey guys so I'm in the midst of one of my most ambitious projects to date - replacing all the picot bearings on my 2008 Giant Reign. So I've got it apart as shown in the photo EXCEPT! for the middle linkage thing. The thru-bolt is out, so the piece is loose but I can't get it away from the frame! I've been pretty gentle so far because I don't want to wreck anything, but is there any trick to getting this away from the frame? Basically it seems I need to flex it open and get it around the frame, but easier said than done! Thanks for advice from anyone who's been here...

How to uglify your bike
Uglifying your bike....
get rid of the nobs and put on the slicks.
How ugly is this!!
Funny thing was as I dismantled the LUST crossmarks and ignitors as their 3 month expiry was reached, I had very different results in both front ignitors and rear crossmarks.
Residue left in front ignitor with a very strange latexy 'growth'
and
Residue left in rear crossmark. Heaps more left than the front, even though they were installed at the very same time..... Strange huh?
