Removal
1.
Remove the SWinging arm as described on page
13.5.
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.
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.
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.
Installation
Note:
• Replacement bearings are supplied with
the plug attached to the outer cup by
means of adhesive. Do not separate these
components, as it is not necessary to do
so for installation. The plug is not an
interference fit in the swinging arm.
Before starting work, ensure the motorcycle is
~~~~~~:~
