Hey guys, im pretty sure my swingarm bearings are shot. The whole back end moves around when riding it.
How do u take the swingarm off? Is it a special tool or something?
Mine is rusted pretty bad, and every other bolt i have triwed to take off this stupid thing has snapped. So if the swingarm one breaks, am i screwed?

It's not that difficult to remove. I just changed my son's rear axle off a 2007 250ex. You must remove wheels and hubs, all bolts from the shaft down and then sitting behind the atv start taking off peace by peace from the right side. Once the brake and drum is removed you will be able to tap the axle out from left to right, nice and easy, dont force it. Then you can hammer out the old bearings with hammer and a pipe. Freeze the new bearings for three hours pack with grease and install same way you removed it.

Good Luck EMPK
