removing swing arm bearing from frame

Technical All CARC models
1

I am intending to replace my swing arm bearings as they weren’t really lubricated and have brinelled. What I am wondering is that there are a couple of slots in the frame where the bearing cups are located which I assume are used to extract the cups.

Does anyone know of what tool is suitable or what method works to knock them out?

I don’t think it matters but it is a 1200 sport 8v

Not sure if this helps http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=66579.0 and this http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=60198.0

If you’ve not started yet, it might give you an idea of the task to hand!

Hi Tris

Thanks for the links; I have already removed and checked the bearings but have replacements to fit still.

I’ll post a repsonse once I have worked out a way to extract the cups.

Solved, needed to use a pry bar with the sharp edge on the bearing cup inside and then used a bar that passed through the frame onto the pry bar and knocked out with a hammer. Two person job but took couple of minutes to do.
