does anyone have a stator cover they want to sell

 

i went out for a ride today (and froze) but i took a short video of it. at the end theres a clip of the pipe.

now, being that its almost christmas and everything, id like to thank all the members who have posted here. if it werent for you all, i wouldnt ever have rebuilt the bike or had all the fun ive had with it. thanks guys.

 

So my front swingarm bearings finally let go had about a 16/th of a inch of slop prior to my Leota trip this past weekend. Just prior to packing up it got so sloppy i limped my baby back to the lot and we loaded up to leave.

Today i got the rear caliper off the chain and shock/spring off. I loosend the drivers side nut of the front swing arm bolt easily came off i went around to the other side the long bolt that goes thru spins but wont come out i gave it a couple wacks with the hammer to push it thru with a punch but it won't budge. Any tips to get that long bolt out after the nut is off the end. ? ???

 

make sure theres no pressure on the swinger at the pivot point. that bolt should slide right out. mine did.

 

There isn't any pressure i can spin the bolt easily just wont push thru the other side.(i have the quad strung up in the air with tie downs on the grab bar) Maybe a sleeve is stuck on there. IM going to soak it with pb blaster overnight and grab a punch and a mini sledge and give it a couple quick wacks.

 

when you do, be careful not to distort the thread on the end of the bolt. have you tried tapping it as it is?

 

I have tapped it with a hammer a few times but no luck. Didn't really bash it hard just a tap with a small punch in the end with the treads on the end.

 

OK finally was able to get that long bolt out thanks to my saw all.Cut that sucker on !
Now my question is stick with the needle bearings or go with ball bearings on each side from a bearing shop along with a new bolt that isn't hallow in the middle?

Thought about putting a grease fitting in the swingarm asyy as well.

Thoughts on this would greatly help.
