SWING ARM BEARINGS

[spen]

Checking the bike over for MOT i noticed movement in the rear wheel .When held at 3 oclock and 9 oclock you can move the wheel slightly just like a bad rear wheel bearing .Where the drive shaft goes through the rubber boot you can feel movement so i"m guessing it"s the tapered bearings in the end of the swing arm .I had a look at Motobins web site but i"m not 100% which are the correct ones to order ,any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Paralever bearings and pivot pins are what you will need. Straightforward job but don't forget you will need quite a lot of heat to soften the loctite in the bolts.

Do the pins need replaced every time or just if they are marked .

They may just need greasing and adjusting.
