I was thinking that nylon washers (or similar) would be a good idea as well.

 I managed to finish most of it on the way home, so I only had to share three pieces.

One of the needle bearings on my swing arm has a piece of the rim chipped out of it,it won't spin freely like the left side bearing.I think that happened when they were pressing the bearing in there,I think the swing arm bushing is all that is holding the little needle bearings in there.I should have tried to measure the bearing while I had it apart yesterday so I could look for something better to replace them with.The other or left side appears to be okay.You might could find a sealed ball bearing to go in there.I don't know how long a sealed ball bearing would last with the lateral movement but would have to be better than what's in there.

More then likely they put it on with just a hammer and nothing else and bashed the crap out of it. Too much pressure on one side will create some hairline cracks... over time you get what you see in the picture.
If you find a replacement put a socket that is roughly the same outer diameter of the bearing and tap that with the hammer. This will give you even pressure. |
