[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1356480, member: 104942"] The topic has been beat to death, so I won't post much more then "it works well". The swingarm and suspension bearings in my 95 were, like the rest of the bike, badly neglected. The shock bearings were literally half gone, the rollers were flat and stuck and worn to half their thickness. The swingarm bearings were rusting, but working, so at some point a PO must have actually greased those... Anyway, I did a search on the archives here, and pressing them out with a socket and a vise looked like the way to go. It worked beautifully! I used by bench vise, a big heavy nasty thing... it took me and a neighbor to line up the two sockets (big on on the "out" side, small one on the "in" side. It took a lot of force, but it eventually popped a little then started moving... So they are all out, and I'll start hunting replacements. So thanks to the Canadian Dave collective, the information here has been outstanding... and my project bike is coming along great! [/QUOTE]
