How do you get the swingarm bearings out of a 01 wolverine. These are the bearings in the swing arm that attaches to the frame. It doesn't look like you can get behind them and drive them out from the back. How do you pull them out??

 

Oh, what fond memories I have of that !! did the ones in my 95 Wolverine,it is just a tapered wheel bearing that is held in by a big allen head bolt, I ended up pulling the entire rear section back a little to get at them, which pulls the driveshaft out of the u joint in front, or it pulls out of the splined fitting going to the rear diff. Either way,after you replace the bearings, it is all sorts of fun getting the drive shaft back in place while trying to line up the bolts holding the swingarm back on. You will probably need to take the top shock mount loose, so you can move the swingarm back enough, good luck, and hope you are the patient type !!!

 

I have pulled the rear swingarm completely off. I figured putting the swingarm back and trying to line up the drive shafts will be fun. I'm just getting frustrated at trying to get these bearing races out. You think that someone would have made a simple tool to remove them.
