Subject:      Rear Axle Bearing Installation
Comments: cc: wetwesties@yahoogroups.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I've just about mustered up enough courage to install my rear new wheel
bearings and seals.
I'm going to just grind off the old nut (got new replacements).
The question:
Is it easier to pull the entire swing arm assembly or just the drive axle
box to knock out the old bearings and install the new seals?
I've got a complete spare set of arms with all of the brake parts
attached and I'm considering just installing the new parts in the spare
swing arms and doing a swap. This looks to be the simplest method
although it appears to still be an all day job.
Your comments are encouraged.
