has anyone put a zerk in thier swingarm?

[mc1984]

I have the complete axle and swingarm off of my 300ex. I am replacing the seals and bearings etc... I was looking at it and thinking about putting a grease zerk in for the pivot bolt. It is a pain to take it apart to grease it and I thought this would make it a lot easier. I would put it in the swingarm 1/2 way between the 2 bearings. The grease should flow on the outside of the pivot tube and out to the bearings. Let m eknow if anyone has done this and if there is any reason i should or should not. Thanks in advance guys!!!

I would put the zerk in the pivot otl , plug the other end and drill a couple holes where the seelves ride on the bolt.

There were some pics on here. Jeff at the quad shop does this mod.

my dad did that on his old old warrior in the swinger where there wasnt one. worked great too. i dont see why honda doesnt use greese zerks i think itd be a good idea.

i agree, grease zerks from teh factory would nice.


and kfulk is correct. doing the pivot bolt up the way he explained is what seems to work best
