swing arm and new axle bearings

[bentvalve]

wow this was quite a job! i thought i could do this thing in my little shop..lol i had to take it down to my dads shop get the big guns out. them things were are f@#$@# up! the pivot and the carrier.thet sucked to get them out, but we got it done. we also pulled the inside facing bearing seal out and put in grease things on swing arm and carrier.i know there really is not a way to keep water out of these areas,but im gonna pack it with grease 1st! we also finished with the idle screw kit on the carbs, so after i torque the noss head down, i might just get stupid and fire it up! im still looking for a person or company that could revalve and set up my rear shock pretty decent lt priced. don

I know what you mean, I replaced mine the other day and luckily I could get everything out myself. I tapped the carrier and added a grease fitting but decided to leave the seals intact and not fill it with grease. I was worried I'd kill the bearings to fast where I ride if they were open even if they were greased. Plus they're not to expensive to replace. :thumbsup:

thats what i was looking for.i know when i first got here i was told to get the clymer manual, i am mechanically inclined not any real exp on wheelers but cars.i love this book. i would have not even attempted this if i would not have a book. i am looking for any experience about taking the seal out of (inside facing bearing, and filling up with grease) im hoping that it will help keep water out. and yes im looking forward to putting new bearing in every season(weather needed or not) they are not expensive. i still have to do the front end. trying to have everything as far as seals and bearings new before i ride it. and im still looking for someone that does not think they are gods gift to shocks to revalve the rear. don
