Great Job Marcus. The pic of the push collar explained a lot as to how it works. Now, what if the needle bearings are worn. How much trouble to drive them out for replacement? Don't forget the chain guide/guard for the swingarm. Thanks
Yeah, this is great, Marcus! Curious to know if those swing-arm bearings had plenty of grease in them, or were they quite dry, like some T7's wheel and/or dog bone bearings as they came off the assembly lines?
The T7 dog bone bearings where not dry on my bike but greased just fine. The bolt itself is dry but it needs no lubrification unless for rust protection maybe. The issue is overblown in my opinion.
Seriously, it has been mentioned LOL.. maybe a extra thin one :D But I actually think you could force one in there, but will be dfun to see the state of it after 10 k hehe
How did You unscrew linkage front bolt? Its nut sits so close to exhaust pipe so I could put on only open ended wrench but I am afraid to damage the nut.
Giving mine some love this winter as well. But you are taking things quite serious😁
Hehe, go big or go home.. we’ll shit, I’m home allll the time 😂
Great job Marcus ! 👍💪
Thanks bud

It would be easy to get the bearings out 😊, either with using something long and a hammer, or a puller.

The first time I removed my swing and inspected the bearings, they were not dry.

@@gbner9991 the bolt I just put a light ligt layer of lithium grease. I agree it’s not a big issue as long as not the bearing them self are dry
Yeah… extra tube… riiiiight 😏

I used a open wrench 😬
@@everythingtenere decat pipe probably would provide necessary space 😃
