I have had a bearing kit hanging around for Mrs Flamejob's Five for a while because last time I rode behind her I noticed it had a bit of a wobble...
.. anyway, having done this a few times on previous Patriots I've had I know the procedure, but this Five is just being a total bitch.
The swingarm slides over the bearings fine, but the bearings inner races are solid on the main frame spigot. I can tighten the clamp bolts up on the swingarm to near strip torque (bowing the long handled 5mm), but when I batter the hell out of the other side of the swingarm the swingarm just slides over the outer race.
It's driving me bonkers.
Any ideas?
