85 200X swingarm rebuild

[TN200X]

:confused:Anyone know how to get the bearings out of the front of the swingarm of an 85 200X? The rear bearings are no problem but the front ones are now demolished as I have completely destroyed the cage trying to drive the things out. Any suggestions? :doh:

I just redid mine last month, and they were completely rusted in, so, i used the dremel and ground down a section to the swingarm, then used a small screw driver and pried a little bit up, then grabed it with pliers and it pulled right out.. Oh yeah, I used alot of rust breaker .. I let it soak in there for a couple hours.. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the suggestions. The 200X swingarm is different than the 250R in that you can't use a socket like shown on the 250R. I've used the socket technique before and that works great, I just wish that it would work here. Since the Dremel approach worked, then I will probably try that. I'll let you know how I get them out. If I do!!!
