SOURCE: Vt250F Swing arm bearings need replacing

You need to tap the old races out with a large hammer and a drift. A steel chisel works, a punch with a flat end works better. Position the punch or chisel on the visible edge from the opposite side and hit it firmly. Move your device to the opposite edge and hit it again. You don't want to drive only one side out, twisting the race. It needs to be driven fairly evenly, close to straight out. Rarely, you have to cut the race out, if you must do that I would use a rotary tool with a cutting disc.

I always put in 20 oz and thqt will work fine...make sure your bike is up to operating temp when draining your oil so it all flows.

SOURCE: do i need to remove my tire to replace my rear

No, you do not have to remove the rear wheel. There are be two bolts that hold the caliper to the caliper bracket. Remove these two bolts and lift the caliper off. This will leave your old pads and associated hardware in the bracket. Pay close attention to how these parts are positioned in the bracket and then replace them with the new pads and hardware. Make sure you put the pads in with the friction surface towards the rotor. I can't tell you how many times I've seen brake pads put in with the metal side to the rotor. Especially on the backside of the rotor.

Now, you've got to get the piston pressed back into the caliper due to the new pads being thicker. Do this with either a "C-clamp" or a large pair of slip joint pliers. Put something around the caliper to protect the paint and don't damage the piston. Remove the top from the rear master cylinder. Watch the level of the brake fluid and don't allow it to overflow.

When you get the piston pressed all the way back into the caliper, carefully replace the caliper onto the bracket. Do not knock the brake pads out of their positions. Install the two bolts and torque to proper specs, about 20 foot pounds or so. Slowly depress the rear brake pedal and let off until you get a good firm pedal. You may have to do this several times. Top off brake fluid in the master cylinder with the proper type of brake fluid. Do not mix DOT4 and DOT5 brake fluid. They are incompatible and will cause you troubles later.

When working on brakes, the job must be done properly. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death. Check the brakes for proper operation prior to riding the bike and again at a speed of less than 10 MPH.

How to change drive belt

You have not provided the year of your motorcycle so here is the directions for a 2006 Harley-Davidson Touring Bike. If you need advice as to how to change a belt on a different model year post again with the model year and ask again. If you need directions on how to remove the rear/replace any or all of the rear wheel or the swing arm or the primary case or the starter or the front or rear drive sprockets or etc etc post another request and if I see it I will respond to it.

2006 TOURING DRIVE BELT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION


Remove the rear wheel and the rear swingarm and then the primary chain case assembly and then the old belt from the transmission sprocket and then install the new belt on the transmission sprocket and re-install the primary case assembly, the rear swingarm assembly and the rear wheel.

Go to this site http://www.bikebandit.com then put in 2006 softail. Go to suspension and select the swingarm. You'll see that there are two different hardened washers.

40: WASHER, HARDEDED, .632X1.300X.090 goes on the left side.

We are looking to buy a 19996 ST1100 and the swinging arm has been welded. Is this the correct procedure or shoud it have been replaced?

It depends on the quality of the weld. There is nothing wrong with welding a swingarm on an ST1100 as is shown here. Replacing a rear swingarm can be expensive.
If the weld is good, everything should be fine. If it's poor quality welding, a replacement swingarm would probably be needed.

Uneven clearance top of swingarm to frame ,3 - 4mm r/h side 10 - 12mm l/h side 09 softail standard - been told by dealer is within specs but I am not convinced

I do know the Softail does have an offset but I don't know how much and to what direction. To find out for sure, you'll need a service manual for your bike with a frame drawing in it. It will tell you what the offset is as well as alignment points you can check. But, unless the bike has been badly wrecked, you're swingarm is probably correct. Do you have any reason to believe that it isn't other than just looking at it? If you look at an early FLH, you'll see that the rear wheel is not in the center of the fender but it is centered on the frame.

The way a Softail swing arm is connected to the frame, there is not much way for it to be out of alignment unless the bike has been subject to a very hard lick from the side. The swingarm of a Softail is mounted much strudier and is tougher than say a Wide Glide.

2003 FXD swing arm wobbles

If the swingarm wobbles from side to side, you need to replace the swing arm bushings. You'll have to support the engine/transmission while you remove the swingarm. Once out, you can drive out the old bushings and replace them with new ones. It's not that big of a job except for pulling the rear wheel. Just watch the sequence in which the parts on each side of the swingarm come out and put them back the same way.

Good Luck
