Drain the rear-end oil
Remove the heel guards
Put the frame up on jackstands
Unbolt the shock at the bottom - Bolts are 17MM
Pull the shock up and wire it to the frame so its out of the way
Remove the rear brake cables
Remove the rear brake brackets - 12MM
Remove the vent hose and move it out of the way
Loosen the clamp and remove the boot
Note how the shock is tied up out of the way
Remove the swingarm bolts - 30MM
On the left side remove the allen-head bolt - 12MM
I cut a 3" section off of an allen wrench and put it in a 12MM socket
Jack the swingarm up slightly and roll the tires back
Remove the driveshaft and grease both ends
Remove the old bearings and races
I used a socket (sticking out of right side) with a long extension
(sticking out of left side) to drive the races out
Optional - Insert a freeze plug into the area behind the bearing.
I drove it in with a deep-well socket
THIS WILL PREVENT WATER FROM REACHING THE BEARINGS
Optional - CAREFULLY measure and drill a hole to mount a grease fitting
I drilled right in the middle of the freeze plug
Thread the hole for the grease fitting
Vacuum out all of the shavings & use a lot of brake cleaner - DON'T MISS ANYTHING
There were no good flat spots on the top of the right side to install the grease fitting
So I put it on the back side. Use Loc-Tite on both grease fittings.
Thoroughly grease the new bearing
Insert the new race, bearing and seal
Insert the new O-ring into the collar.
Insert the collar into the seal
Put the driveshaft back in place
Make sure to put the spring back in place
Roll the swingarm forward and mount the driveshaft back on the gear
Tighten the clamp on the boot.
Re-install the 30MM bolts and torque them to 112 ft.lbs.
Torque the allen-head bolt to 12 ft.lbs
Pump the swingarm full of grease - I used marine grease as it repels water better
Re-install the rear brake bracket, brake cables, vent line and shock.
Fill up the rear end with fluid. Adjust the rear brakes and take it for a test drive.
