Is the Torq pre load the same for used bearings? I want to remove my swing arm for paint purposes.

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

Yes it is Joshua.

[@hamzahamza-vu9cl]

thank you sur for your video pleas when you explan the force we knaw with newton not with poind

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

hamza, You're welcome, I am used to FP (Foot Pound) units. But, conversion from Foot-Pounds to Newton-Meters requires multiplying Foot-Pounds by 1.3 (or 1.36 if you feel you need more accuracy). Or said differently N-m is about 30% larger than Ft-Lbs.

Would a hex bolt be ok for the flange? Thinking of remowing my swingarm to repaint it, tried to brush but not 100 percent satisfied with the result. Thanks for great content.

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

I don't understand

[@mwtraining4310]

@@BrooksAirheadGarage instead of the 12 sided bolt into to the gearbox. A regular six sided bolt of same length.

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

No. Use the BMW supplied bolt. It is hardened and you don’t want them to break

[@francescofalsini1807]

Hi Brook, I hope all is ok. Any idea where I can purchase the tools required to rebuild the final drive?

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

Hi Francesco, No I don't. The rear drive requires some special tools and precision measurement to get the gear lash correctly set. I currently view this work as reserved for "experts" and have not attempted it.

[@francescofalsini1807]

@@BrooksAirheadGarage ok, thanks. I know the final drive is complicated but is the only peace I still never did....and I want to learn how.
Please let me know if you come know anyone who sell those tools.
On a different matter, do you know if CycleWorks is still on business?

[@BrooksAirheadGarage]

@@francescofalsini1807 As far as I know Dan at Cycle Works is still in business.
