I found that when i went for my MOT that bearings in the swing arm needed replacing.
When i came to remove the swing arm that due to lack of grease that everything had seized solid !
And the bar going through the silent block's on the casing had also seized solid in the silent blocks.
Out came the angle grinder . then the drill but now i have a damaged silent block and i need to get it out !
Any ideas ?
