See how to replace the swingarm bearings on a CRF450R in this video from Partzilla.com. This is part of a larger rebuild project where rebuilding this dirt bike from the ground up. See more of the rebuild here: • Honda CRF 450R Repairs
The rear end of this dirt bike was in dire need of work. We’ve already tackled the shock linkage bearings, and here we’ll replace the swingarm bearings on our CRF450R. You’ll notice we have the engine out here, but that’s not necessary to do this job.
We’ll start with the shock. We’ll get it disconnected and removed and then we’ll move down to the shock pivot. From there, we’ll work on getting everything disconnected to remove the swingarm.
The swingarm bearings are actually several pieces: seals, washers, and the bearings themselves. You want to make sure each piece is greased before you install them. We’ll show you how to press them into place.
A Motion Pro suspension bearing tool set is nearly a must for this job. See how it works in the video and get your here: www.partzilla.com/catalog-pro...

All these videos couldn't be better. Amazing quality camera, amazing editing, and best of all you explain everything in PERFECT detail BOTH disassembling AND reassembling every piece. Because of this, you have a subscriber and a customer.

Nice video for people that are learning how to do this job. Personally, I have done this job dozens of times and have always used a 21mm socket, all thread, washers and nuts and have never had an issue doing it correctly. But if you are new to doing this sort of stuff and don't have a ton of experience on making sure everything is just right then it is best to purchase the tool or pay to get it done by a professional.
