5.1. BEARING INSTALLATION
Apply green loctite to all the bearing/bore interface surfaces, then press all the bearings into
their respective pivot locations:
FORWARD SHOCK EYE
A :
6802-2RS
15 ID x 24 OD x 5 W
CHAINSTAY
B : 15267-2RS
15 ID x 26 OD x 7 W
C : 6803V
17 ID x 26 OD x 5 W
5. REAR TRIANGLE PIVOT ASSEMBLY
In order to successfully build the Enduro FSR rear triangle, it is very important
to follow the order of operations as outlined in this manual. Modifying the
order of assembly will result in a longer build process.
Grease all bearing surfaces before placing the spacers against the bearings.
This helps keep the spacers in place when assembling each pivot. Always
place the smaller (tapered) surface and/or the spacer seal against the bearing,
and the wider surface against the frame or stay.
All pivot bolts are factory treated with a Nylock patch on the threads. If the
patch wears off, apply a new coat of Loctite 242, or install new bolts.
Only apply grease to the unthreaded portion of the bolt shaft and the inner bolt
head surface (orange highlighted portion of bolts as shown in the step-by-step
assembly illustrations).
For best alignment results, torque the main pivot axle and wedge assembly
first, but do not torque any of the other rear triangle pivot and shock bolts until
the rear triangle is fully assembled to the front triangle. Always torque the rear
shock eye bolt last.
