Protection first, protection second—we take care to avoid damage as much as possible. That said, a couple of towels like this won’t give us perfect protection, so there’s always a small chance of something happening.
Even without masking instructions, they’re thoughtful enough to mask the bearing outer diameter—that’s Nishimura Coating for you.
The speedometer gear section is always a lifesaver too. We’re really grateful for that.

Please try shaking the bearing you removed. You’ll hear a clicking sound that’s noticeably louder than a new one.
We’ll press the rear suspension bushings into the swingarm.
People sometimes say, “You’re so careful, putting everything in boxes,” but we’ve learned the hard way about wasting time searching and not finding things.
Then there’s the wasted time and materials making it again, and the sad rule of finding it later and ending up with duplicates—we learn from painful experience!
Finding ways to protect parts easily and repeatedly also saves time. It peels off cleanly and simply.
