I'm currently greasing the swingarm bearings and changing chain/sprockets and have encountered a couple of snags.
Firstly I intended to remove the rear suspension unit and grease up the pivot points however I cannot remove the sleeve from the lower mounting point in the swingarm itself, it's stuck fast. Anyone got any advice?
Also when fitting the new rear sprocket I checked the torque setting for the fasteners and found it to be 100Nm. I set about torquing them up in incremental steps, after getting to about 60-70Nm one of the nuts let go and the threads started to strip on it (thankfully the stud is ok). Hence I stopped and undone them all to seek advice. The nuts are the originals and my suspicion is through age they have deteriorated and a new set is required.
