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.

not telling :lol:

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.

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.....
