Daytona suspension linkage bearings

Internal bearing puller

Just a few photos to help me remember what I did for the next time! The bearing puller worked but only after a night in the freezer, then I heated the outside hoping to create some temperature difference to break the "seal".

Full complement Vs. Not

I will only take full complement needle bearings shown at top, these would  have been the ones I didn't swap out last time versus the lower one whihc was replaced in 2013. To be fair the bearings all seem to run OK, but all of the axles are marked.

What gets changed minus 2 seals

Showing the marks on each of the axles the bearings and seals that are going in the bin.

The 2 link piece, easy to remove bearings from the RHS bit and difficult from the LHS bit

So to remove the bearings from the ally piece was quite easy with a G clamp and socket, removing the bearings from the steel bit was a lot more fun, involving freezers, heaters and big hammers!

Silencer and link pipe cleaned up

 The silencer and link pipe came up well, the build quality of the scorpion titanium silencer is really quite good although it does mark quite easily.
