All done fellas. Left the swing arm on the bike and used your idea Murph with the socket. It worked like a beauti. I had to give it a few good hits until it loosened up and started to move but nothin to extreme. I think i’ll take it off next time though mainly for the convinience of having it in me hands to put the new one in which was a bit tricky doin on the bike. Anyway it all worked out well so thanks for the advise….Dusty

Ballards have a tool thingy which is supposed to make it easy (90.00) anyone used one, I have 2 to do

cheers Hatto

I have done a couple of them over the years just using a socket and extension bar to knock them out with the swing arm still in the bike without any problems. Just place the bike on the bike stand, unbolt the shock, lift it out then drive out the old bush and fit in new one. Should only take about half an hour and a couple of beers

Cheers Mickp – shed time coming up
