Just had the joys of replacing the bearing on a m8's FSR (well we've 3 left to fit as the kit he bought was wrong), but half way thought I hit upon an issue. The rear pivots are two bearing back to back each side. Flipping nightmarish to try to figure how to get them out, but as normal STW came to the rescue with Ansdy's post on this thread:

Making this (this is Ansdy's picture) was a doddle, out of old spare and an m5 bolt (didn't need to drill through the v-brake nut, but I think the m6 would be easier to tighten right up)

So a small bump for Ansdy post, to help anyone else in the same situation, as the old thread is locked.
