Grease is the word

I have a spare bolt and would modify it to screw in ones for you on an exchange basis then all you have to do is undo the nut and push one bolt out with the other, OK the nut would be on the other side but you have to be nit picky to pick that up.
You need to grease these every 1000 miles MINIMUM as the collar wears more than the bushes and is damned expensive to replace

I have noticed a little bit of play in my swingarm bushes,does the bushes wear more than the shaft? or do I need to replace all?

Bryanj:
I always found if there was play you needed both the bushes and the collar to fix it
MrDavo:
I'd like to take up your kind offer Bryanj as long as you'll wait for mine as exchange until I've swapped spindles rather than drift it out and send it off. I can't get grease in and don't want to wear the bushes out unnecessarily. 8)
Plan B would be knock it out and see if I can find a blockage.
Can I remove the spindle with the bike on the stand without dismantling everything.?
