Finale Drive and Swingarm repair

Post by R601968 »

Can anyone tell me the correct size for the tools needed to remove the pin in the swingarm and the locking nut on the pin?

For the pivot pins you need the following:
1. a heat gun or propane/MAP torch to heat the pins to break the Locktite 270;
2. a 30mm socket for the locknut on the inboard pivot pin;
3. a 12mm hex socket (I went online and got one a Tooltopia for (I think) $12.00).

Thank you for the knowledge and information. I doubt the swingarm bearings are bad, will proably find a need to replace the finale drive bearing
