Fig 1
Fig 2
d. Clean all bearing surfaces and inspect for
damage.
e. Pack new bearings with a liberal amount of high
quality bearing grease. Apply a thin layer of grease
on the inside of the swingarm bearing surface.
This will help to prevent the new bearing from
galling during installation.
f. Install bearing onto the corresponding bearing
driver as shown in fig 3. The bearing driver will
hold the loose needles in place during installation.
a. Remove swingarm, seals, retaining
rings, and spacers. Make absolutely sure
that there are no internal circlips that may
be hidden under the grease.
b. Select the correct size driver for your
bearing and assemble the puller as shown
in Fig1.
c. Make sure as you start to tighten
the assembly that the bearing cup
(C08-0294D) is centered on the swingarm.
Pull the bearing through the swingarm
and into the bearing cup as shown in
Fig 2.
