Worn bushes

Hi all, my Rize has recently developed some play in the main swingarm pivot:
If I gently lift the bike by the seatpost, there's a slight clunk as the weight is taken off the back wheel. I'm guessing the bushes are worn - do you think it would be much of a job to replace them? TIA

Are you sure it is the main pivot and not a shock bush? Shock bushes do the same clunk when you unweight.0

I'm pretty sure it's the main pivot. I have checked the bolts on the shock and put my hand on it when I lift the bike and I can't feel anything :?0

I'm not sure of the bearing system on this bike: try the website for a service guide or contact a dealer. May be a simple press fit bearing.0

Looks pretty straightforward tbh.0

Yep, very easy to do.
Udo a few bolts, take bearings and washers out, do whatever and then do it in reverse.
