Mach 5 main pivot slop, bearing replacement?

[slindblom]

Anyone have experience replacing the main pivot bearings? There is a tiny bit of slop that showed up yesterday on a particularly burly ride. The slop (from what I can tell so far) is in the rear-most of the DW-Link set of bearings. From the schematic on Pivot's website, there are 4 in there, and Enduro sells a kit of bearings for $55.00 for the Mach 5. Are they simply pressed in the linkage such that I can tap them out and press in the new ones?

Thanks!

would have been better if I looked on the Pivot website just a little lower.... the detailed instructions are right there.

Thanks Anyway!

Re-torque your pivot bolts first. I have two Pivots, and the lower bearings only last a year in the wet and sandy conditions here. A little preventive maintenance helps, but it's something I have just accepted. On that, the bearings will sieze and eventually gall the pins before they will get sloppy, so I'd reckon something is just loose.
