 ==== Installation ====
+Clean the pivot bore and the new bushing with solvent, acetone, brake cleaner etc. \\
+It has to install dry with no grease in the bore on the bushing. \\
+{{techtalk:ref:tools:swingarm_bushing_remover-installer_8_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}} \\
+\\
+Install the bushing with the beveled end toward the bore. If both ends are beveled, it installs either way. \\
+Line up the bushing square to the bore. The socket below had rounded edges which allowed it to kick sideways when torque was applied. \\
+So a larger 1/2: washer was used to create the flat surface to initial pull in the bushing and keep it straight in the process. \\
+Once you get the bushing snugged up by the tool, you can give that nut a sharp whack with a rubber hammer to 'set' the bushing face in the hole. \\
+Then snug it back up, check for square and start pulling it in with the tool. \\
+{{techtalk:ref:tools:swingarm_bushing_remover-installer_9_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}} {{techtalk:ref:tools:swingarm_bushing_remover-installer_11_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}} {{techtalk:ref:tools:swingarm_bushing_remover-installer_12_by_hippysmack.jpg?direct&300|}} \\
+\\
+When you start tightening the tool, the nut will get hard to turn as the bushing gets squeezed into the bore. \\
+But once it starts pulling in, the pressure should be consistent. \\
+If the nut gets hard to turn all of a sudden, don't be afraid to remove the tool and check for obstructions and alignment. \\
+Actually, a cheater bar was used on the wrench to pull the bushing in on the last 1/4" or so on this one. \\

+Check to make sure the bushing wasn't damaged on installation. \\
+Install the pivot bolt spacer to make sure it glides freely without bumps or stops. \\
+The spacer is a slip fit and should not bind during operation. No reaming required. \\

+===== Bearing Lockring  =====
+==== Removal ====
+**Caution**: Use eye protection as the lockring may pop out on you. \\
+**There is no reason to replace this ring unless it's damaged or rusted to the point it will hinder proper bearing race installation**. \\
+The races butt up against this ring on both sides and that determines distance apart from each other thus how far the inner bearing race sticks out the end. \\
+So the races have to be installed correctly. \\
+The ring can be used for both internal and external applications. However, the tool for these rings only works on external applications. \\
+It pushes each end outward to expand the ring to remove it from shafts and the like. \\
+There are no known pliers to compress the ring due to it having no holes or slots for pliers. \\
+So it will need to be pried out with screwdrivers in a circle pattern to get the ring out of the groove in the pivot. \\
+Once the ring is completely out of the groove, you can push it out of the pivot with a socket sized smaller than the pivot and near the same size as the ring. \\
+Or it may just pop out on it's own. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\

+\\
+==== Installation ====
+The ring needs to be installed with a tapered sleeve so you can set it in one side and knock it into the bore while the sleeve taper narrows the ID of the ring. \\
+But without having that tool, a socket was bolted up into the bearing bore sitting on top of the open end of the ring to keep it from popping out. \\
+Then the other side of the ring was carefully knocked into the bore with a wooden dowel and a hammer. \\
+Once the ring was fully in the bore, the socket was used to push the ring down so it snapped into the groove. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
