Hi, I recently had my swingarm bolt pressed out on my 88 rm 250. Now its time to replace the bearings. I have my factory service manual on order but I need to know if you have to use a hydraulic press to install these bearings or can I use the old hammer and socket method. The shop is trying to charge me an arm and a leg just to install these bearings. I was also wanting them to change the fork seals and oil. They're charging an arm and a leg for this too. How hard is this to do on my own? Any special tools I need? Also rebuilding the rear shock? I am clueless untill I get my manual and I am not into getting raped over this. I need to let this guy know buy tomorrow if I want him to do the work for me. BTW I am better than an average mechanic just lacing knowledge on my bike. Thanks for the info guys. :thumb:
