t-rex reversible rear stand problem

[tekmoe]

damnit. i wanted to change my rear tire this morning but when i try to remove the pin from the t-rex reversible stand to insert the other pin for the swingarm side, it keeps pulling out one of the bearings from inside the stand. i can't get the fuggin bearing off. this sucks.

i dont want to damage the bearing so i havent tried using any tools yet. its definitely on there really tight because ive tried for about half an hour using my hands to pry it loose. no go.

yea i tried some wd40. still won't budge. need some kind of pipe or something i suppose...

this sucks.

finally got it off using my stock exhaust...lol, don't ask.

but now i find out the freakin pin for the swingarm side is too big. what a joke.

Tek, on my S3 I use the same pin for both sides. It doesn't fit snugly, there's a little play on both sides.

Should have bought an ABBA stand, more stable and no messing around 'swapping sides'

But I guess you guys know what you want, I'm English so what do I know ehh :razz:

.GNOME.

my pin for the right side was too big, so I told Tom and he sent me another one that's only a mm or 2 smaller and it fits great.
