How to get it out
« on: June 20, 2022, 06:24:57 AM »
This is swingarm for Dorothy but it came from Suzuki or some other bike.  It seems like it had needle bearings originally, there is only a steel sleeve left now. 

The big question is: "How to get it out?"

Does it go all the way through?  If no, use a long drift punch to knock it out.  If yes, cut out a 1/2" piece with a dremal and then know it out.

  Slice it in two or three places with a sawzall or hacksaw blade. The big question is what to do then?

Maybe apply heat to loosen any potential locktite that may have been used.

Heat and a brass punch. MAPP gas would be my choice.

I use 3 double D washers. Drop the washers in and turn them so they sit on top of the bushing/bearing shell. Then it's easy to drive them out with a drift from the other end.

I am curious to see a picture of the whole swingarm.  Could you post one?  Might be able to help identify it and know what is supposed to be in there...

I had to cut my swingarm out of the frame with  a hacksaw as the whole thing was seized in there. ( Kawa KL250) Took the swingarm to an engineering shop; they had to use heat and a 50 ton press! $60 well spent.

How does it size up to the 750 swing arm? Have you had it on already or just preparing to?

It has to be shortened.

I use a jigsaw with [fresh] metal-cutting blade to cut a slot in the bushing. This weakens its grip inside the tube and lets me tap (bang?) it out from the opposite side(s).
