Default Re: Found play in the swing arm bearings

Swing arm pivot bearing are relatively easy to extract, and replace.

But like Paul says the linkage bearings for the shock are almost impossible to extract without damaging them.

The alloy corrodes and the bearing gets seized in place, even after 11k.

I replaced all the bearings after getting my swingarm powder coated, and used lots of grease on re-assembly
