Title: Jackpiner Swing Arm Bearings
Post by: davelar on January 07, 2001, 10:18:08 PM
I am currently restoring a 1976 175cc Jackpiner.  At this point, I am replacing the swing arm bearings.  I have the new bearings, but am having difficulty removing the old ones.  I have tried heating the swing arm and tapping on the bearing housing without success.  If there are any "tricks of the trade", I would know what they are.  
Thanks,
Davelar

I replaced the swing arm bearings on an old Husky which I restored.  I also had a hard time. My friend has a machine shop and I used his press to press them out along with some heat.
