As title, I cant find anything on the interweb.
The frame is slightly different to the 2010 as the lower (main) pivot bearings are in the frame not the swing arm.

Any idea's.
Give me your pay pal address and i'll buy you a beer!

I think what you will need is a blind bearing puller. These are not cheap. You could try getting in contact with keasea from this forum, i know he was developing some tools to remove bearings, i have one of his tools for removing bearings from linkages and it works a treat. If you have any trouble finding his details drop me an email and i can give you them.

That video is buy the guy i was talking about. He revised the design to remove the need to use a vice for removal of the linkage bearings and is working on something to do bearings that are fixed in a frame.

Here is a link to some bike bearing removal tools
