Bearings are a sealed cartridge type and do not require
periodic lubrication. Unlike interference fit bearings that
are pressed in place, these slip fit bearings are fixed in place
with the anaerobic adhesive , Loctite™ 638. Please follow the
instructions carefully, as the strength of the resulting bond
between parts can be affected by surface preparation and time
to cure.

The condition of the bearings should be inspected every 25hrs
or if the seat stay develops side-to-side play. Bearing condition
can be inspected without removing the bearings from the part.
To do it, disconnect the seat stay at the swingarm and shock
link by removing the pivot axles and spacers. With the bearing
exposed, rotate the inner race of each bearing with your
fingertip. The inner race should rotate smoothly and without
any play. The bearing itself should be fully and firmly seated in
the depth of the bearing bore . Loose but undamaged bearings
may be reinstalled using the technique as described next
page. Damaged bearings should be removed and replaced
with new ones.

The bearings are a slip fit within the bearing bore of both
the seat stay and the shock link. They are not a press fit.
The bearings are installed with Loctite 638 which bonds the
bearing to the part. If the bearing is difficult to remove, you
may need to warm the bearing carefully to loosen the Loctite
bond. Locate a dowel on the face of the bearing and drive it
out. After the bearing is removed, remove the Loctite residue
with a small wire brush.
