Center stand and spring bearings stuck

<< < (5/6) > >>

Kelly E:
I use 3 double D shaped washers that will drop into the swingarm. Turn them once inside the tube. Then a big drift and they hammer right out.

alexdecker:
This is the state of my rear swingarm collar. Will this be fit for more duty, or should I go for a needle bearing conversion and get another (as that seems to be the only way to actually get a hold of a new collar these days)?

Sesman:
I’m not expert, but that looks fooked to me?

Oddjob:
That’s mullered I’m afraid, my needle bearing kit arrived today, lovely bit of kit, 2 needle rollers, 2 special end caps and a hard chromed spacing collar. For the price of a new Honda collar, pair of new bushes and possibly new end caps it’s a no brainer for me which to choose.

Bryanj:
Thats the later collar which is more difficult to find but you can use the earlier collar if you use the long bolt with the greaser at each end
