Hi Guy's,

Is it nessasary to use a blind bearing puller to get all of the linkage bearing out on the K5?  Is it possible to push out (instead of pulling out) both of the bearing that are in the bottom of the swing are and in the rocker pivot? 

I wanted to get the Motion pro suspension removal\install tool to do this myself, but the kit doesn't come with a 22mm ID blind collet.  This kit will be useless if the bearings need to be pulled out. 

How to you guys get all of these bearings out?

Thanks
Dan

I use a press. You can use a vise with a correct sized socket to push on the bearing and a larger socket to catch the bearing.

I use a press... and a torch.....   but     some 2X4's    a hammer , some sockets, and application of heat works...

thanks guys.  That's what I was thinking, but wasn't sure if both bearings could be pushed out the same way.
