    swing arm bearings

    I was going through the rear of my bike and was getting ready to paint the rear 1/2, thought about relpacing the rear arm bearings, is this an easy job? Nothing wrong with them, but thought since I was there I'd pull the arm off, clean and paint it while the caliper and lines were off.

    Leave as is if nothing is wrong with them.

    Not an easy job without special tools.

      If you're going to pulling the swingarm off, it wouldn't hurt to run a couple clean rags through the bearings and pack some grease back into them.

        ya a clean up and fresh grease is a good idea. You wont likely get the bearings out without destroying them though.

          My thoughts as well, just a good cleaning and repack, any good axle/wheel bearing grease will be sufficient? Thanks
