I'm sure there's a weed joke in there somewhere i'm just missing it lol.
Got the race out by way of dremel and carbide cutting wheel (took only 1 wheel at that) frickin cut it like a hot knife through butter. Now onto the next step; replacing swingarm bearings

On the plus side, I'm pretty sure you can't put those in backwards. :laugh:

As for removal, I had good luck with a slide hammer I borrowed from Autozone the one time I pulled swingarm bearings. I believe it was called a "blind hole puller"
