Pivot Bearing Replacement

[biometrics]

I just came across this excellent pictoral on this process and even though I don't expect my pivot bearings will need replacing, these instructions are certainly helpful with my final drive repair (see my "wrench size" thread)... Thought I would pass on the link for others in this predicament :

Thanks Bio. That is a good pictorial. I'm going to have to do that with my bike.

Nice find. Now I just need one on the front pivot bearings on the other end of the swingarm. I think those are the cause of an awful squeeking noise my bike is making.

Great pictorial; I wish I had been able to read this before I replaced these bearings a few years ago. This web page also prints well, so I saved a copy as a PDF, which is now available on my Google Drive account.
