Damn m****r f*****g bearings wont come out of the piece of s**t frame! 😡
And breathe. Right, i'm replacing the 18month old bearings from my Commencal Meta 4X frame. The rocker linkage bearings cam out no problem, but there is no way in hell the bearings in the main pivot or the ones on the seatstay are wanting to move.
I have removed both bolts on the seatstay bearing but the axle that runs through them just wont budge… at all. I've beaten them as hard as i can with a mallet and all that happens is the bolts i've use as a drift bends.
And as for the main pivot bearings, argh! I've removed the non drive side big ass bolt and using a socket that sits on the axle as a drift i've beaten the living s**t out it aswell with no results.
What the hell am idoing wrong?
