Its more envolved with the steering bearings you need to take the front
wheel off,drop the stem down,you will also need a syringe to grease the
bearings with. It is alot easier to fill it full of grease and then
inject it inbetween the rollers.Then you don't need to press the bottom
bearing off to do it.With the swingarm bearings, the rear wheel comes
off, the rear end is unbolted, remove the shocks. Now you loosen the
right side first, that is also where you adjust the preload, 4 ft.
lb's., and then remove the left. Reassembly is reversed. Takes about 30
min's. for each, a whole day if you don't eat your wheaties.
