It was easy getting the rear shocks off. Then came the swingarm, which was covered in grease with dust and dirt stuck to it. Getting the lock washer flattened out, so I could get off the nut was the biggest challenge. That sucker was smashed on there real good! Once the nut was off, it was a piece of cake to push the shaft through and to pull out the internals. I didn't take out the bushings yet- there was just too much crud everywhere and I couldn't even see where the seam was. I'll take some parts to the quart wash and blast them a little before touching them much more.

A collection of blurbs stemming from mostly the motorized projects that I do. Some posts mixed in have to do with my experiences in X-ray school. (Some entries are from older blogs that I killed off.) Some of my toys are a Mazdaspeed Miata that I work on and take to the track, a little Harley that I can't stop modding and an old Yamaha RD400 that I've been collecting parts for over the past 15 years. When I'm not wrenching, sometimes I mountain bike, sometimes I snowboard, sometimes I make beer.
