CHANCELLOR12 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Hello, this is my first post and i am currently having the same problem while trying to change the swingarm bearing. I have been thinking about cutting the bolt after trying to pound it out with a sledge for 2 days. But after you cut the bolt how do you get the rest out thats still stuck in the swingarm? Anyone know the average cost to have the swingarm bearings replaced at a shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Been there last year. Pounded for days with a sledge. Poured penetrating fluid and used heat etc., did nothing. I had to take out the engine and use a cut wheel on a grinder and cut it off. What a royal pain in the ass. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know the average cost to have the swingarm bearings replaced at a shop? Well, call a shop and find out, and let us know. Get a sawzall and cut that bitch out. Drill and tap for grease zerk, coat bolt with anti-seize for easy removale next time. Hint: don't put zerk in middle, shock is in way. Ask me how I know.
