If you've some bits-n-pieces to do it, with the engine out then lay the frame down so that the free end of the pivot bolt is on the saddle of a trolley jack (stay with me, but it's simpler than it sounds) you may need something here, an old socket perhaps, to get the Jack to push the pivot only and not touch the frame.
Now use a chain round the bike frame and the trolley jack frame (underneath where the front wheels are) and secure that (an old drive chain could be used) now when you jack it the frame is captive but the bolt is pushed through like it's in a hydraulic press.
This may get it moving as you can apply quite a tonnage to it.
Oddjob:
Get the lump out first Roo, wonder why the PO has fitted the rear brake arm upside down? Oh just spotted, rear sets?
Don't forget to remove the tacho drive from the cam cover before removing the engine, they snap off very easily. Remove as much as possible, eg clutch, genny, everything that bolts on including head and barrels unless of course your leaving it in one lump, which I doubt.
If all else fails with the swinging arm you can cut the frame out around the pivot pin so at least it's away from the frame.
