Ugh. Starting stripping my G16 down to replace the pivot bearings, as I suspect the swingarm bearing is the cause of a very annoying click on compression and rebound. Can I get the pivot axles out of the swingarm and rocker? Can I fuck. The previous owner was a bit cack handed, and he's cross threaded inside the axle where the preload cap screws into, too. This is the third thing I've discovered he's fucked on this frame (all fixable, just annoying)
Anyway, pivot axles - I've tried smashing it out as hard as possible with no luck. Don't think heatgun/blowtorch will work as there's too much material around the bearing. Any bright ideas?
