Last one I did (not an Ape sorry) I used a length of threaded bar, some washers, and 1/2in sockets.
Basically, just wound them out. Pretty easy to be honest. Good luck. On another note, I have a full set of swingarm bearings including the sleeve for sale. All genuine Aprilia parts. |

You can't do that with this swingarm can't really explain there's a ledge behind it so can't get anything behind it

What brand are the bearings? There's 2 caged bearings and 1 big needle roller (the one I'm trying to remove) on the other side

I gave up in the end and took the swingarm off and gave it to a mate who used a press at work. Worth a four pack the threaded bar method wouldn't work for me but thatwould make sense now if there's a ridge stopping it.

Split collet bearing pullers on a slide hammer are the best way, did a set on a zx9r last week and they took about 20 min to get them all out.

@: Clarkie, yes, they're for a GenII. @: badapple, it's the swingarm kit dude, not the dogbone kit innit?
