broken slack adjuster on 400 ex

[novocain]

hi. does any one know how to replace the rear slack adjuster. i phoned my dealer but they said i have to buy a whole new swing arm because its all one piece. but i can find brand new slack adjuster bearing assembly on the net separately. but i cant figure out how to get the brroken set up out and the new one in.

i could really use some help here because its parked when it shouldnt be:(

slack adjuster? do you mean the rear axle bearing carrier? if so you can pick up a new one with bearings for about $150. to take it off is fairly easy:
1-take off the brake caliper
2-take off the chain
3-take off the tires and brake side wheel hub.
4-loosen the two large nuts next to the brake hub( they are left hand thread)
5-there is a c-clip on the axle, remove that.
6-slide the nuts and threaded tube off the axle.
7-the axle should slide out of the carrier.
8-loosen the 4 bolts on the back of the swingarm
9- remove the large C-clip on the end of the carrier itself.
10-the carrier should slide out of the swingarm.



do the opposite to re-install. should only take about an hour if you have done it before. first time may take longer though.
