Swingarm pivot bolt / rod removal

Hello, Have any of you guys remove the pivot bolt for the swingarm? I'm doing it on my hypermotard 821 and having some trouble. I think I have all the bolts removed including the hidden pinch bolt on the right side behind the pivot bolt, all the rear set bolts, and both C clips on the pivot rod. I tried tapping it a bit but it hasn't moved. I wasn't sure and I didn't notice if it was threaded in or if there's some sort of trick to remove it.
 
No repies - that sucks. No doubt you've figured it out. I look at parts fiches (Omaha Ducati has an online one) to help figure some stuff out. Sounds like you had it disassembled right and just needed to hit it with a drift. How did it play out?
