Hallo,

When I replaced swing arm bearings and placed new ones, i pressed them to enter till the end of their place, which is little 0.2 inch more inside than the outer lip of the swing arm. Is it correct? I mean, inner bushing is getting all the way out, and is perfect aligned with outer lip, that means the bearing is little bit more inside. Should I drag bearings out?

And another thing: I`ve greased bearings with molibdenum bisulfate grease, according to the manual. Now I`ve found in Haynes manual that I should use water resistant lithium grease. Have I proceeded well?
