Has anyone successfully removed and installed the main pivot bearings on a 2009 Meta 55, the pairs of bearings in question are housed in the swingarm.
If you have done it could you please advise me as to the proceedure as I don't want to damage the swingarm in the process..

cheers in advance..

    I was about to post you in the direction of the Commencal Owners forum but seeing there is a Davy-G on there who has posted on the topic I'm guessing you need more of an answer! I shall keep an eye on this as I will need to do my bearings at some point (probably very soon in the current conditions!)
    Current bikes:
    Norco Sight 3 SE (on order)
    Specialized Allez 2010

    Old bikes:
    Commencal META 55 custom build (Stolen :( )
    Boardman HT Comp 2010
    GT Avalance 1.0 2006(ish)

    Aye, that was me also... just trying to get a definitive answer to my post about wether there is a lip between the bearing pairs...
