Bearings  are a sealed cartridge type and do not require 
periodic lubrication.   Unlike interference fit bearings that 
are pressed in place, these slip fit bearings are fixed in place 
with the  anaerobic adhesive , Loctite™ 638.  Please follow the 
instructions carefully, as the strength of the resulting bond 
between parts can be affected by surface preparation and time 
to cure.

The condition of the bearings should be inspected every 25hrs 
or if the seat stay develops side-to-side play.    Bearing condition 
can be inspected without removing the bearings from the part.    
To do it, disconnect the seat stay at the swingarm and shock 
link by removing the pivot axles and spacers.  With the bearing 
exposed, rotate the inner race of each bearing with your 
fingertip.  The inner race should rotate smoothly and without 
any play.  The bearing itself should be fully and firmly seated in 
the depth of the bearing bore .  Loose but undamaged bearings 
may be reinstalled  using the  technique as described next  
page.  Damaged bearings should be removed and replaced 
with new ones.

The bearings are a slip fit within the bearing bore of  both 
the seat stay and the shock link.    They are not a press fit.  
The bearings are installed with Loctite 638 which bonds the 
bearing to the part.   If the bearing is difficult to remove, you 
may need to warm the bearing carefully  to loosen the Loctite 
bond.  Locate a dowel on the face of the bearing and drive it 
out.    After the bearing is removed,  remove the Loctite residue 
with a small wire brush.
