Removal
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is stabilised
and adequately supported. This will help prevent it from
falling and causing injury to the operator or damage to
the motorcycle.
1.
Remove the swinging arm (see page 13-7>.
Note:
• It is necessary to remove the left hand bearing
first.
2. Working from the opposite side of the arm to the
bearing being removed, drift out the bearing and
plug together.
Note:
• For access to the bearing cup during removal, it
is recommended that the plug be deliberately
deformed and removed first in order to see the
rear face of the bearing cup.
3. Repeat for the second bearing cup.
Never use excessive force to drift the outer cup from the
swinging arm or allow the cup to tip excessively. Either
condition will damage the swinging arm.
4. To remove the right hand bearing, drift out the plug
and bearing outer cup working from the left hand
side of the swinging arm.
