swingarm woes

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
Nope because it HAS to pivot on that sleeve as the ends are trapped by the frame when the long bolt is tightened so it NEEDS to come out and be inspected/grease holes cleaned or you will be removing the swing arm again.

MIKE550/4:
think that answers me, get it out, replace bushes new nipple re grease , dont want to be doing this twice  on same bike

cheers as usual bryan

Bryanj:
Still need to see the sleeve as , tho' you wont believe it, the steel sleeve frequently wears more than the plastic bushes!!!

MIKE550/4:
will report back when i get sleeve out with some pics

hopefully will get this out relatively easy
cant be any worse than that m/c clip ,haynes and clymer never mention, rust, dirt,grease and general crud

MIKE550/4:
does not look too bad slight score on one, ( think this will be fine... bryan ? )

bushes were very brittle , did not take much to get them off

glad i changed them  now for all they cost...

hope the pics help others that am i putting up as this site has been a real help to actually share and gain knowledge
