My swingarm had a lot of play in it so I finally decided to take it apart. When I pulled the spacers out the needle bearings fell out, all in little, rusted, broken pieces. Now the bearing housings are in the swingarm and won't budge. I tried sawing through them but I don't want to go to far and saw through the swingarm. How do I get them out? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

 

alot of pvc blaster should do and luck i guess

 

If you can try heading them and pulling them out or if you use a die grinder and cut it that way try lubing it up with wd40 first and let it sit them either push with tubing if you can or use an air gun if not heat them up and try it then or cut them.

 

I tried cutting through them but I need some new blades, hammering them out is way to hard, they don't budge. I'll try a torch, as a last resort.

 

Alright let us know how you make out

 

I just changed mine today. Mine were really rusted as well , i ended up using a long punch and hammer to get them out.

 

What exactly did you use, I tried hammering them and the puch slides out, and skips of the edge. There isn't much left to the bearings, just the housings so I don't have much to hit off of. I'll try to get pictures.

 

I just finished another failed attempt of hammering them out. I ended up breaking off the lip, and all that remains is a tube inside the swingarm.

Only thing i could suggest is if you have torches you could put a slice in them to get it out or find someone good with torches to do it if your not comfortable with it. Any auto repair shop should be able to do it.
