Well last night I took the DS apart. I have to take the motor out to put in some shifting forks, so I thought, what the heck, I may aswell tear it completely down and go through every busshing,bearing,etc and I may even do a little Cosmetic work also.

I now have a rolling chassy,, and tonight I will start taking the Swing-arm,A-arms,Brakes and steering stem Off. do you guys have any pointers you could pass on to me??? I know those damn engine bolts were TIGHT!!! I broke 2 ratchets and an extension. I am dreding the swing arm bolt already.


Thanks for any help you can offer.

impact gun. the rear hub had me cussing up a storm.

 

Case of beer.. Its not fun...

 

Sandman has right the answer! trust me on that one! 2 words: Impact gun! Yeah the castle nuts on the rear hubs seemed like they were welded on! ...lol I bet the swingarm is the same! Keep us posted on your adventure!

 

I just wish I had gotten my air tools sooner, now I have them all[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

air ratchet really takes time off. also take alot of pics so u can look back where everything went

 

my hubs were easy to take off

swingarm nut and bolt is easy

A-arms...easy....Kyle if 2 15 year olds can do the job in 3 hours...bare frame...you can! and put it back together YOU CAN!! lol

 

I dont have a Impact, so I am going to try without it(I still have 1 good ratchet left) If not, I will take the whole thing to the local tire shop and have them bust loose all the tough bolts.


I was cussing up a storm last night, But when my knuckles hit the frame for the third time after the Extension,and my 2 ratchets broke, I started making up cuss words!!!!!!LOL!! I actually think I was talking in Tongues for a awhile thier.
