Now the other side was the one with the rusted in bearings, I tried some scotch brite by hand but was still left with this:
I'm sure a small wire wheel would have worked fine but I saw these soft scotchbrite wheels for a die grinder that were perfect:
They are quite soft and not very aggressive but still performed great. If anyone knows where to get some more of these at a good price I would love to know. The place I got them from was kinda expensive.
Here it is cleaned up:
Really impressed using the press tool, Kinda expensive for what it is but considering that it has the correct dimensions for the bearings, seals and has built in depth stops it was worth it to me over making my own even though I have a lathe. Made the process go very slick and the bearings are driven in strait without any marring to the swingarm or your sockets.
Here is the tool with bushings for the heim joint and swingarm bearings as it stores:
Last thing to do was clean up the pivot bolt, it has some rust and minor pitting:
But it came out not bad with just a scotchbrite pad and a little bit of the wire wheel in a couple places:
I have a TM Designs Slide & Glide kit that should be here early next weeks, I'll get that put on and then I can install the swingarm and rear shock on the bike.
