get the ASR brand a-arm bushings from ebay, $18

a few guys have run the diamond j kit without problems, but if ya save up, a-arms are the way to go

i don't believe the swinger pivot rebuild has a DIY yet, and they sometimes suck to remove the old corroded parts out of them...................

PB blaster, propane torch, small sharp chisel, blunt drive pin, and a big fuggin hammer are a few tools that come to mind

Thank you for the responses ....i have the swingarm off and there is no bearings left at all ...not sure where the races even are...some people just ride i guess and have no clue about maintenance !!!

i have a micro-fiche from Yamaha with the exploded pic of the rear end ...im sure i will figure it out .
