cabby Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 On the 2010 swinging arm there is bit that hangs down that connects the linkage (excuse the pathetic term there) that has a bush and two bearing in it. the near side bearing looks like it's done, but not sure how to remove it ?? Any pointers on how to get this out, as I assume it can't be knocked out from the other side ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabby Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 When I took out the bush one end was fine the other was all rusty, so inserted one's finger in both ends, one end felt nice and turned nicely, the other didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobain Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I have every bearing (or what is left of them!) out of my swing-arm apart from these two! cant work out what is holding them in there! Let me know if you work it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Perhaps one could use the rawl bolt method to have something to knock them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobain Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Got there eventually, they were just very, very tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perce Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 On a 4rt you can take the swinging arm out & it's then possible to push the bearings out using a couple of sockets & a vice. Dunno if this works on a Sherco as I've never had to do one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I like the idea of the rawlbolt method Cope....just wondering if you could combine that with the a large socket over the rawlbolt/bearing hole and then use a second nut and washer on that same bolt to gradually pull the roller bearing out? Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splatshop Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I use 22mm, 15mm & a 15mm deep reach 1/2" drive sockets, a piece of M10 threaded bar, 2 washers and 2 nuts. Make sure the 15mm socket is under 22mm in diameter or pick a socket that is or you'll get a socket stuck in your swinging-arm. There isn't really enough room to use a vice.

cobain Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I had the swing arm off the bike to do the swing arm pivot bearings anyway so it was easy to get it in the vice with suitable sockets to press them out! It feels so much better now with 11 new bearings in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayto94 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) I have just had to do all the linkage bearings on the 250, they were in a bad state of affair. The swingarm linkage ones had collapsed and all that was left of them was the outer race. Trie prising out wit sockets,and the rawl bolt method but no luck. Took the arm off to get at it better but still no luck. So just turned up a piece of aluminium the right size ot the outer race and the right size of the inner race so it was centrally located and whack out with a hammer. . . ! hey presto, Bobs your mothers brother Bike also feelsmuch better with all bearings replaced!
