'03 KX250 Linkage bearing problems

<< < (2/2)

Mudshark:
Well I got the new seals and bearings in and got the rest of the bike back together.
Now I discovered that the chain adjuster bolts are seized solid into the swingarm.  :cry:
I guess buying used bikes has it's little suprises.  :-o
I filled the swingarm with penetrating oil and let it soak overnight... still no joy.

I am trying to screw these things back into the swingarm, at least
I know that the threads on the outside are clean. To get the oil to penetrate
I am doing a bit of tighten / loosen though, but the general direction is in.

Mudshark:
The rebuild is over....
I got the KX done today, I had to cut the two adjuster bolts
off, drill them out and tap some fresh threads in there.
It all worked out great, a bit more effort that I wanted ..... but hey look at this
not too shabby for a '03 ??





Next is a new top end and clutch, But that can wait till spring :mrgreen:
