I absolutely cannot be arsed with this anymore, I've gone through FOUR BKM2020JAU bearings trying to get them installed in the swingarm. One side slipped straight in with a threaded rod and a few sockets but the other side, jesus, took it to an engineering place and apparently the hole is wonky, ground it out with a dremmel and everytime I press the bearing in, right at the very end it tightens up and deforms :/

Sorely tempted to just chuck the lot on ebay, any takers?

Rant over...
