[Closed] ST4 removing/servicing rear triangle

[#3534809]

I know there's a few other ST4 owners on here and wondered if there's any advice or documentation on how to remove/service and replace the rear triangle/bearings? There's nothing I can find on the Orange website for the ST4, it's all 5's or patriot documentation

Whilst getting better at maintenance jobs I've never attempted this on a full sus so any help would be great

It is easy to dissasemble the rear triangle - just unbolt anything you can. I found that a 'just small enough to fit' drift (a socket) and a whack from a hammer, with frame supported over a gap just big enough for bearing worked fine. Replacing is the reverse.
You can also get proper bearing pulling tools if you are concerned.
