Removing ZX7R swingarm bearings?

Post by Jason »

Does anybody here have any experience removing swingarm bearings from a ZX7R?

Problem that I see is that they cannot be pressed out from the other end as the section of the pivot shaft between the bearings is of a smaller diameter than the ID of the bearings themselves.

Must be some trick to it...... any help appreciated!

Inner bearing removal tool (souped up slide hammer)

Bottle of LPG from the BBQ

Squirt LPG on em then apply slide hammer

Don't squirt it on ya hands, and don't be smoking while you do this, bad shit will happen
If youre living on the edge, youre taking up too much space
