I feel deflated...

  1. So the recently purchased arbor press won't do the YZ swingarm bearings.
    There's just no way to get them into the 'throat' of the press because
    they're too wide.

    I need something else. Shame I didn't win the auction for the hydraulic
    press.

    Tempted by a 70 quid one on ebay (item 110606495859).

    Fortunately since i'm not working today I managed to take the swingarm
    to a local engineer who will also fix stripped threads in the swing arm
    by fitting an 12mm-8mm adapter (adjuster thread on one side opened up to
    a 10mm hole and a nut and bolt just sat in it holding the wheel in
    position. On the other side nothing, adjuster snapped off; I fixed this
    with a left handed drill and a punch.)

    Might get it back tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
