lceman72 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Can anyone tell me on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult it is to install a swingarm? Thanks sf Quote
Ryda85 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 that depends on your mechanic ability. some jobs will be easier than others i suggest you buy a clymers, read what you want to do fully before you start and judge yourself if you will be able to complete the job Quote
IceRacingShee Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 i would say a 2 if that swingarms are very easy to instal if the bolt will come out that is Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 very easy if your swingarm bolt is free Quote
Holyman Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Yeah a 2 if the bolt comes out, a 9.8 if the bolt is stuck. Replacing the bearings is about a 4. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Can anyone tell me on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult it is to install a swingarm? Thanks sf 303567[/snapback] If the swingarm bolt comes out its about a 1. If you have a floor jack it makes it easier than jack stands. You can set the height perfectly so the rear wheels are still on the ground, taking pressure off the pivot, but won't allow the bike to fall when you take it off. Quote
lceman72 Posted January 8, 2005 Author Report Posted January 8, 2005 Good deal...im in the process of owning a modified banshee and am looking to purchase an extended swingarm @about +4 ! Thanks for all the great info! Quote
RNBRAD Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 Hard part for me wasn't mounting the swinger to the shee. It was getting my axle in my new carrier and getting the sprocket hub on. Man what a freakin tight fit. Then another pain in the ass getting my chains masterlink clip on. I think I broke like 2 of them It's always those things that should be simple that throw a wrench into your day. Quote
