Posted August 11, 201014 yr DT125R Ok anybody have any ideas of getting the bearings out of the relay arm. I'm replacing them and the swing arm ones too. Tried hitting them with a screwdriver but they wont budge. I would use a blow torch but i've just had them powdercoated so its not possible.

Have you had the relay arm powder coated with the bearings in ?
August 12, 201014 yr Author Have you had the relay arm powder coated with the bearings in ? not telling you learn the expensive way. I have new bearings, bushings and seals for the swing arm and relay arm so its going to be done right. I looked on the net yesterday night and its either buy a bearing puller contraption or a long threaded bolt with a few washers and wind them out.

August 12, 201014 yr Thats what i did when i built my 86 DT. Gotta make sure you press them out rather than impact them. More so when putting new ones in. I remember changed the swimg arm bearings on my TS50x. Failed an MOT due to too much play. After new bearings fitted correctly, it was the same. It then passed. At a Yamaha dealer as well.....
