Yes, but the bearing will purge excess grease into nearby voids. A bearing engineer once told me to pack the bearing full and fill void 2/3 full of grease.
Semi-related, but have you ever had a rear axle seize and not want to come out? I’m about to drop the swing arm and press the axle out. I’ve tried soaking in penetrating oil, big dead blow, air hammer, and it will not move more than 1/8”. Talon hubs, everything rotates fine, it it will not come out.
+MatthewMCRepair well I am swapping out a damaged swing arm, I have stripped the paint off the replacement today with nitromors, just wondering if I should leave it overnight or not?
+MatthewMCRepair it's basically a solvent to remove paint, very popular here in the UK, I don't think it will do any harm as it's not acid or corrosive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromors
Question. when you put the swing arm nut back on, should I use some anti seize compound on the nut? just curious because my nut was an effort and a half to remove. Good videos btw. keep it up!
My 94 kx125 swingarm bolt is fucking stuck in there good, been hitting it now for an hour and hasn't moved a bit yet, I guarantee the fucker hasn't been out in 30 years
Hey man ive got a little issue. I was going to regrease my swingarm bearings accidently dropped the left bushing on the floor, and got a pretty nasty scratch on it. I don't feel comfortable using that bushing, so is it okay to use a new bushing on a used bearing without it starting to wear in an odd way. The bearing itself is almost like new looking and i really dont want to replace it. Thanks in advance!
