Had my fingers in the rear end today! Wheel out for bearing check, sprocket carrier bearing is having an early bath & theres a bit of end float in the swing arm pivot.... and play in the suspension rocker...poobah! Frame-mount bush seized as is par for the course ( 2002 bike serviced annually & not a sign of the slippery stuff to be seen- lazy B'stards). After the usual humming & ha-ing, & a quick prayer to the god of ineptitude I broke out the expanding internal puller (AKA rawlbolt & threaded bar), bacofoil & blow torch & after fifteen minutes of grunting & getting in my own way, out she pops ! Thats my annual quota of jamminess/luck all used up . Time for a smoke and sit down to remove the god-awful rim stickers from the rear wheel .
My mums monkey makes many mistakes.
