Ensure the KP5AX Bearing (2) and Link (1) surfaces are clean and apply Loctite 641 on the
outside of the KP5AX Bearing (2) and the inside bearing surface of the Link (1). Before
sliding the Center Spacer (3) into position, it is essential that each end of the Center
Spacer (3) has a large amount of MOLYCOAT grease on both ends to create a donut of the
grease. This will then spread and fill the Labyrinth on assembly. Pass the Centre Spacer (3)
though the Link (1), taking care not to contaminate any bearing surfaces, and locate
against the bearing already pressed in. Using an engineers vice with ‘soft jaws’ to prevent
any damage to the Link, align the Bearing Insertion Tool (9) and Bearing (2) to be pressed
into the Link (1) correctly. Press the Bearing (2) into the Link (1), ensuring that the Centre
Spacer (3) is located in both it’s Labyrinth gaps. Remove any excess Molycoat grease from
around the area.
Once all the KP5AX bearings (2) and Link Centre Spacer (3) have been
assembled, the final application of lubricants can be applied before assembly into the Bicy-
cle.
Before re-assembling the Shield Washer Components (4) (5) (6), apply large quantities of
Molycoat Grease on top of the KP5AX Bearings (2) seated in the link (1). The grease should
completely cover each bearing and be applied on both sides of the bearing as it is assem-
bled into the Link (1). Next assemble the Shield Washer Components (4) (5) (6). If you
have applied enough Molycoat grease, grease should spread from under the Shield Washer
component as they are positioned. Wipe excess grease away from around the Shield
Washer Components.
Application of SKF LGAF 3 Compound.
Once the Link has been assembled and correctly greased, SKF LGAF 3 Compound
must be applied to all outside faces of the Shield Washer Components (4) (5) (6)
that contact the Main Frame and Swinging Arm. It is additionally suggested to
apply SKF LGAF 3 compound to the link contact surfaces on the Main Frame and
Swinging Arm.

2.0: Removal of Rear Shock
Tools required:
10mmA/F socket with ratchet or T-Bar drive
5mm A/F Allen Key
4mmA/F Allen Key - 2 off
Support the bike by clamping the seat post in a work stand. Remove the rear wheel. Us-
ing the 5mm Allen key to hold the Socket head cap screw (15) and the 10mm A/F socket
to loosen nut (13), remove nut (13) and washer (14) then remove the bolt (15) and
washer (14) from the other side of the bike. The shock unit should now be disconnected
from the swing arm. Next, in order to remove the shock unit from the main frame (1)
use the two 4mm Allen keys to loosen the screws (2). Whichever screw loosens first,
remove the shaft (5) from the opposite side. The shock unit may now be removed from
the bike. Ensure you collect the top hat bushes (6) from the shock mount (1) as you
remove the shock.

9.1 Fitting of Link Assemblies to Mainframe. Figure 2
Tools Required:
10mmA/F socket with ratchet or T-Bar drive
5mm A/F Allen Key
Torque wrench
The two link assembly’s (3) used on the MARIN QUAD FRS are identical, as are the fitting
procedures, which is basically the reverse of the removal procedure. Both links are fitted to
the bike with the central crosspiece, part of the link, on the bottom of the link assembly, as
illustrated in Figure 7. Carefully slide the link assembly (3) onto the main frame making
sure the shield washers do not drop out. Insert screw (4), (70mm), through the link and
main frame (2) replace nut (5) and torque tighten using the 5mm allen key and torque
wrench. Refer to torque settings in section 14.0
10.0: Fitting of Swinging Arm. Figure 2
Tools Required:
10mmA/F socket with ratchet or T-Bar drive
5mm A/F Allen Key
4mm A/F Allen Key – 2 off
Torque wrench
Offer the swing arm (1) into position with the main frame (2). Align the boss at the front of
the swing arm (1) with the front link assembly (3), making sure the shield washers have
not fallen out. Insert the bolt (6) (85mm), through the washer (7), swing arm (1), main
frame (2), swing arm (1) and washer (7), replace nut (5) and tighten with the torque
wrench. Next align the rear boss in the swing arm (1) with the rear link assembly (3) mak-
ing sure the shield washers have not fallen out. Insert the bolt (6) (85mm), through the
washer (7), swing arm (1), main frame (2), swing arm (1) and washer (7), replace nut (5)
and tighten with the torque wrench. The swing arm (1) should now be fixed to the main
frame (2) and should move freely with no sideways movement. For torque settings, refer
to section 14.0. Remember to re-fit brake assemblies, and check they are functioning cor-
rectly before riding the bike.
11.0: Fitting of Rear Shock. Figure 1
Tools required:
10mm A/F socket with ratchet or T-bar drive x 2
5mm A/F Allen Key
4mm A/F Allen key x 2
Basically this is the reverse of the removal procedure. Ensure that the Top Hat Bushes (9)
are installed into the inside of the mainframe mounting point (2). It is best to loosely as-
semble both ends of the Shock to ensure correct alignment before finally tightening Nut (5)
and Bolts (13). Refer to torque settings in section 14.0. Refit plastic plugs (14)
