I thought that's what they were trying to do. Good one, Sunbeem!

no.
The swingarm pivot bolts are hollow for a reason.
You shove the grease gun (with the proper tip) to the end where you would normally put your 6mm allen wrench and
have at it until you start to see grease coming past the seal.
When you're done, wipe off the excess and bobs yer uncle.
It's all good, until you realize the plate behind the bearing on the left side has rusted through, and you've pumped a tube of grease (or two) into it... :? :o :shock: :oops:
No offense, but if someone has gone through that much grease without thinking there may be a problem, it's time to put down the bong. :mrgreen:

Aw c'mon wirewrkr, I was just speculating. It could have been the grease gun wasn't working, but then, it was getting lighter...
