I put a u-joint in last year, and didn't take the final drive off the swing arm, but disassembled as a unit. Came apart ok, but the reinstallation was a BEAR! You have to remove the swing arm to replace the boot, no options there. You should remove the final drive, replace the O ring on the drive shaft coupler, and pack the coupler with wheel bearing grease while you are in there. This is a pretty big job, and if you're not mechanically inclined, this might be a job for a "professional". The coupler and o ring are highlited

- August 02, 2012, 10:13:24 AMI am changing the boot because it is cracked. It looks like I have to remove the swing arm bolt that goes thru the frame, then will the shaft, after pushing in the retaining pin pull out enought to get the boot off and new one on with out taking the swing arm bolt completly out? Do I have to take the 4 nuts that hold on the rear hub to remove the shaft so that the rear hub and shaft pulls out enought, or is there an easier way?
