swing arm bearing help

[ryan pierce]

i can't get them out,any one know how?

[exrider008]

all i did was take a deep well socket that fit perfect in to the hole and just hit it through. BUT i have an aftermarket swingarm and it dosnt have a collar inside to stop the bearing from going to far in. im not sure it the stock one has one or not but if it fose then it wont work. did u try to get it with a hammer and screw driver?

[ryan pierce]

the pin is frozen up or something,i tried to beat it out but im not sure if it is threaded or not?

[exrider008]

r u trying to get the pivot bolt out or the bearings?


if the bearings then no they r not threded in.

the pivot bolt , i just can't get them out. the bearings are out on one side but not the other,so i think it has wore a grove in the pivot pin and just won't com out!!!

no the 400ex pivot bolts usualy dont come out. you are going to have to cut it out:ermm:

Yepp. If they arnt greased after every couple rides theirs a good chance the bolt is gona be siezed up. I know from experience. we tried every way of pouding it out. It just wouldnt go. finally had to break down and get a torch and cut the bolt into like 4 pieces so the swing arm would come off. We had to get a new bolt but if its seized up you'll prolly need a new one anyways. good luck. that bolts a real B****.
