Hi All!
Im away to be sending some parts away to get powdercoated including the swing arm. The problem is that im not sure how to remove the bearings from the swing arm bolt, and i dont want to be too rough incase i damage. Is there a technique or tool for removing? Any help would be much appreciated. I will be posting a full description of the rebuild on the site too.

Good luck, the side with the two bearings came out a piece of piss the other side with the one large roller bearing was a bitch!
My method.... a long drift and a BFH!!!

i had to cut my fucker out with dremmel and then press it in

was a bitch to do!

I'll second that dremmel is the only way to go for the needle bearing. Smash the bearing rollers out and then being careful grind through the thin wall of the bearing to make it collapse. There probably is a tool but buggered if i could find one.

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping I would get away without having to replace the bearings. Suppose it would be good practice to replace them while there out anyway eh. Do you think I'll be able to get them from honda easily enough?
thanks

Get the needle bearing from Honda as it has a built in seal (read expensive, bout £50+ from memory easily supplied though) the other 2 are generic and can be got from any bearing supplier

Thanks for the quick response vfrderek. That is very expensive Im going to get on that tomorrow tho so Ill let u know how i get on.

Look at it this way....

The origanal lasted 20 years so the replacement will do for another 20 years
