Well decided to take yesterday and put it to good use. Had the day off from work(Columbus day) and rather than pay $300,$400,$500 for a dealership to replace the bearings, bushings, seals, I decided to do it myself. Started at about 9:00am, had everything apart and the old bearings out by 11:30am, called for the parts and by 12:30pm had all necessary parts plus a grease zerk to be installed in the axle housing. By 3:00pm had grease zerk, bearings, oil seals and swingarm back on. Everything put back together and riding it around by 4:00pm. Had times when I was thinking it would've been better to have a dealership do it, but now that its done, I am glad I took the time to do it myself.

 

Therefore, if anyone has questions or needs tips/info for replacing the axle and/or swingarm bearings feel free to ask. I'll try to answer any questions you might have to make it easier for you.
