This bearing puller is out of a real big set in my company metalworking shop.
I can borrow it for private use.

You can buy it on ebay

very nice tools.
i have machined my own bearing pullers such as this before to pull cam bearings from h-d twin cam engines.
but,
have never seen sets like these.

with the force of elbow grease, the swing arm get some little polish,(some groves and dots are left but i will do it later).
I hate polishing things because this is one of the few skills i have to learn.
Any advise in polishing aluminum parts are welcome

your bike is really awesome.:evil:
the lightweight front end,wheels and swinger really transform these old bikes.
nothing like adding lightness,better handling and stopping to widen the smile
