Removing swing arm bushes
Hey guys!

Need to remove the bushes from my ST70 swing arm but seem to struggling. Already tried a bearing press but no joy?

Any thoughts?

Hacksaw the inner metal bush, then the rest should come out easily.

Yes, hacksaw method works. Don't loose the spacer which is not in the parts catalogue. You may need to file down the end of the metal part of the new bushes in order to refit the swinging arm. This will be obvious once you try to marry the frame and arm together. Good luck!
