A short video restoring the swing arm.
I didn't realize just how bad the swing arm was in until I started making the beginning of this video...wow. Not only were the bearings totally shot, the battery vent hose had been routed wrong causing acid to spill onto the frame and top of the swing arm.
It's come a long way - from sandblasting down to the bare metal, fresh paint and much needed bearings and seals. The pivot pins were all good so at least I got to reuse them. The new lock washer on the left side finally arrive so that was installed and the pivot bolts torqued.
When I was preparing to pull the bearings/races out, I was ready for the worst. Turns out everything popped out just fine and went back in without a hitch. Since I don't have a race seating tool, using the old races (cut a slot in the old race - it comes out easier) made things go quite easy.
Proud of my home-made decals as well.
