Much like the Native philosophy of building a canoe, you just trim away everything that is not a bushing.
They fit nicely on the bolt.
I then drilled and tapped a hole in the swingarm for a zerk.
A little grease and a little hydraulic pressure, and they slid right in.

Can a zerk fitting be installed without taking it all apart?I'm scared I'm going to lose my little needle bearings when I take it apart.I have went to partskit just to see what all is involved in making up the swing bushing.I'll just have to take it apart to see what has to be done to add a zerk fitting or maybe have to add two,one on each end of the swing arm to grease each needle bearing.
