  1. Especially bad in dissimilar materials like steel bolt on aluminium. Worse when alkaline soap is used to clean the bike (always look the PH before).

    Loctite, 3M and others have dedicated products to prevent bolt seizure. Worth a try.

    Looks like the video forgot step 1. 

     

    WASH THE FREAKIN BIKE FIRST!!!! 

    And on that wash your bike regularly 

    Yes, this is a good practice.
    Anyway, you should always wash everything after removing swing arm from bike.
    And, yes, when I wash my bike I never spray high pressure water in links area. This part is always dirt.

    I try in these videos keep things "real world" and simple as possible. The idea is give confidence to the one who want do the job first time.

    Beware that at least on the steel forks removing the upper bushing as shown will destroy the teflon lining. The lower bush slips up inside the edge of the upper and scrapes the teflon off. The lower bush does not appear to get damaged.

    Good ad. Bikerpet. On aluminium shocks too :( Splatshop sell these bushings separatelly
