Swingarm pivot too was a little lubricated with a kinda rusty pasty substance which no way passes for grease in my world
But it is off and will be fine. The swingarm pivot tube and bushings were apparently still in the swingarm for the powder coating process IDK but the bushings look cooked and the pivot tube is STUCK for now soaking.
These tasks take so long when a guy encounters conditions such as what I’ve described today.
We Do This For Fun and Because We Can lol I guess..
gotta go -RT
