Let’s replace the pivot bearing.
The worst way to use a puller. Direct application of the puller should be avoided as much as possible.
It leaves deep marks.
For smart work, it’s better to machine and fabricate an adapter beforehand.
Since it has a stepped collar, it seats well on the swingarm side and can be removed smartly.
Am I the only one who thinks removal with a sliding hammer looks rough?
It’s nothing fancy, but it’s extremely useful for removing and pressing in bearings and similar parts.
Machine tools are essential when performing repairs and maintenance.
The swingarm structure is very simple like this. Everything moves up and down with full bottoming.
For vehicles without pivot width adjustment, I first set the components and then reduce play by changing shim thickness.
If the total width of the components is short, it pulls the frame inward. Of course, if it’s too long it won’t fit, but I think the most important thing is to assemble it while putting as little stress as possible on the frame.
So the question becomes: which side, left or right, should the shim go on? Since there are manufacturer recommendations, please check those.
It’s also better to check the seal movement.
Always replace the chain slider. This is the only time you can do it. The pivot shaft is also a part you’d want to replace if possible.
A light coat of NC100 should help it blend in well. And try not to wear down the slider either.
We’re replacing it with a new bearing.
