September 14, 201114 yr Just stripped the swing arm on my 07 SY250 and one of the bearings is totally rusted, some of the needle rollers dropped out as I tapped the bush out. So is there anything to watch out for when removing the bush from the swing arm, or replacing them? Will they tap out or do they need pressing out? any advice appreciated Cheers Mike

The terms "press and tap" are usually achieved with a proper sized implement and a suitable drift or socket while someone holds the thing in position against a solid surface.
September 15, 201114 yr I did my old Rev 3 a couple of times and it was pretty straightforward. Heat/ Cold help no end. Get prepared with a flat surface and a means to hold the swinging arm against it. Get a suitable drift (I used a socket and then dropped an extension bar through it which I packed out so it stayed central on the bush). Get the bushes in the freezer to shrink them a little, and heat the swinging arm (I used a couple of kettles of boiling water). Gently tap the bushes in, and Robert is your Muvva's Bruvva... Graham
September 16, 201114 yr I tapped mine out with an old socket then pressed them in with a bench vice. Are you out sunday?
