I got my kid a longer swingarm off eBay for his KX85. The new one had the bearings frozen in place with rust. I soaked them down with liquid wrench and let it sit for about 6 hrs. Then I was able to press them out (with much difficulty) with a big C-clamp and a couple of sockets . You need need one socket slightly smaller than the bearing, and one on the other side big enough that it won't interfere with the bearing coming out. The new bearings slipped right in.

Freeze ya bearings, it makes them go in soooo much easier. I did most with a small C-D-G clamp whatever they are called.

Does anyone know if if they replaced the sleevs and little side cups for the sleeves when they done the swing arm bearings?? mine seem ok but just checking

the kit for the kid's bike came with everything - Sleeves, bearings, and seals.

As above change the lot.

Thanks guys

Yeah i just managed to get the remainder of the old bearings out of the swing arm (outer shell) as they had totally disintigrated just used a same size socket and bashed em out came out fine really happy with that just gotta put the new ones in...
