Overhauling the rear suspension rocker arm
Disassembly of the rear suspension rocker arm
The rocker arm movement is obtained by needle roller bearings (7) rotating on an internal spacer (5). Two seals (6) on the outer
sides of the bearings keep the lubricant inside the cages.
First remove the inner spacer (5), then remove the oil seals (6) and the needle roller bearings (7) using a suitable drift.
Important
Take care not to damage the bearing housings on the rocker arm while driving out the bearings. Once disturbed, the oil seals (6)
and needle roller bearings (7) may not be refitted.
Reassembly of the rear suspension rocker arm
Install a new needle roller bearing (7) onto drift part no. 88713.1071 and lubricate with the recommended grease.
Support the rocker arm and drive in the needle roller bearings until the tool is seated against rocker arm.
Important
Make sure that the bearings are installed perfectly square in the hole. Avoid jamming. Use a press, if necessary.
Fit a new oil seal (7) on the installation tool, with the metal side facing outwards, and drive it in so that it seats against the
previously installed bearings.
Repeat the above procedure for the other roller bearing (7) and the other oil seal (6).
Lubricate the bearings and oil seals with the recommended grease and insert the inner spacer (6).
