Rear shock cushion needed

Post by Dazza2910 »

Just when I was about to get it all back together and start putting bodywork on, found an issue.....

Old bearings are not coming out of the part highlighted in the picture. So I need a new/used rear cushion. I'd already ordered bearings, collar and seals. Would rather not order the whole thing again as it comes with the bearings that are already on their way! No way the old ones are coming out, they are well fused in there. Took it to my work for them to try and remove them and they are definitely not coming out, so needs changed.

So would anyone have one of these lying about that they would sell?

Cheers

Daz

Might need to contact them for a pic to check their condition.

Didn't see that one when trawling eBay. Love how it says condition as per pictures, then doesn't include any!! Have sent them a message asking for some.

Cheers

Thanks Wicky.

Guy added some pictures, removed old bearings and emailed me more pictures. So all done for £25.

I'd skipped past it as there were no pictures when I first looked so good job I looked after you posted.

Cheers

Good - bung it all back together with some quality Kluber grease.
