Steve, Use Mother's on the aluminum. Are you talking about the driveline
bearing, that the driveshaft goes through?? That bearing should be replaced
if you are replacing a bad U-joint. These bearings are only $20. If you
are talking about the swingarm bearings that attach to the frame of the
bike, I dunno but someone else will. BOb

Hi all,

a little update on what I've been up to. Got the recalcitrant float pin out
of the carb.

After PB Blaster, hot/cold, and took enough away from the carb body with a
jeweler's file to grip the end and withdraw it. Found a replacement
swingarm from a low miles Eldorado with U-joint, driveline, and all
bearings. Got the engine out, and pulled the trans case off. That's where
she's setting now. A few questions.

1) Should I go ahead and re-use the bearings in the new/used (10K mi.)
swingarm? (I plan to pull the Driveline/engine again for sure next winter to
implement Phase 2 of rebuilding process).

2) I haven't pulled the clutch apart yet to check out what kind of shape
it's in because I heard a rumor that re-assembly can be a bitch. I'd
appreciate any hints in that area.

3) I want to clean up all the oxidized aluminum on the engine/trans to get
the stains etc. off of it. What work's best? I've read some about Eagle 1,
but nothing that says which one of the E1 products would be most
appropriate. Also I really don't want to use anything that requires me to
have to spray a lot of water on the casings until I'm ready to tear them
down and go through the innards (Phase 2), unless someone knows some good
hints to keep water from getting into where it shouldn't go.

Thanks

Steve
