When the swingarm bushing need replacing in any bike you'll know by the loose or unstable feeling of movement, or what is also known as chatter, in the rear wheel of the bike.Therefore, if you feel this chatter, pop your bike on a stand and check the swingarm for looseness or play after removing the rear wheel.check the up and down movement and ensure that it goes up and down smoothly.If there is roughness, tightness or binding, grease the swingarm pivot with good quality waterproof grease.Grasp the swingarm on each side and try to move it back and forth at the pivot while you watch for noticeable slop in any of those areas..My tdub200 swingarm specification side play should be 1mm.If the swingarm pivot play is over the specified limit,will need to replace the bushing.According to my tdub odometer reading,it's almost 72000km.I checked my swingarm bushing condition time to time & couldn't find any wear at all.OEM factory bushing are awesome because it goes a long way.WEBIKE sent me all the parts That I needed to rebuid my swingarm to Factory Condition again.A thorough job at proper maintenance to the swingarm bushing means removing the swingarm. You're right - it's not a fun job.Before removed the swingarm from the bike place a jack under the engine to elevate the motorcycle.then remove the rear wheel ,remove the cotter pin and washer at the lower shock mount.remove the lower pin and allow the swingarm to lower the ground.Loosen the swingarm pivot nut with a 19mm socket wrench.pull the swingarm axle out from the right side. then I can freely remove the swingarm completly.After removing the swingarm guard Now I can remove the dust seal from both side of the swingarm,remove the bushing collar from each side.bushing collar are two different sizes and cannot be interchanged.remove both oil seal under the nylon bushing.oh yeah now it's time to drive these old nylon bushing out of the swingarm.Basically to knock these old nylon outer bushing out I used long steel drift put that into the swingarm until it catch the inside edge of it and tap it until come loose.removed the both outer bushing and inner bushing.after that cleaned the swingarm completly before installation process began..Put a thin layer of waterproof grease on both new inner nylon bushing and place a bushing one at a time .install this inner bushing little bit tricky because there should be a liitle space that the oil seals are sealed in.Install this brand new bushing into the swingarm is very easy.I used 9in C-clamps because C-clamps is way better will pressed inner bushing into the swingarm very well.pressed until the inner bushing are seated.Now comes the tricky part. this inner bushing need to pressed that little further to installed the oil seals in. To do that ,I used 17mm socket same OD as inner bushing then place that socket next to the inner bushing I installed and pressed the C-clamps just a little bit further on both side.So I can able to install the oil seals later on .Perfectly done it.This is how I done the job. Very easy process but take some times .In the end well worth the wait.Thank You So Much FOR THE SUPPORT WEBIKE.WITHOUT A SUPPORT I coudn't make it.as usual package received in a good condition & very nicely packed .
