    I thought I was being smart but made the mistake of hitting the linkages with compressed air to blow out water residue. I didn't realize the pins were not secure. I blew out a bunch of bearing pins and have recovered all but one. At this point I'm not sure I will find the remaining pin. Does anyone have an old junker bearing or pin they could part with?

    Thanks,

    The action is still pretty smooth. Just the pin would get me by. Prices for replacement bearings vary greatly from Husky parts distributors - calls for two to replace the one. I thought about going to a bearing house but not sure what size the replacements are.

    I would be surprised if a bearing shop cant get you what you need. the sweedes are usually "SKF" std

    Consider that running those somewhat rusted bearings may chew up the sleeves they ride on---those sleeves are not cheap.

    All you need is to press out the bearing and take it with you to the bearing house. They are going to measure the OD, ID, and length and note the exact class of the bearing. In those single shock linkages you not afford to cheap out on anything. You will otherwise pay dearly to correct afterward. Replace the sleeves if they look questionable as well. You can get those at www.husqvarna-parts.com . Phillip has those made as OEM are no longer available.

    I found a bearing shop that can get a set of bearings (two to replace the one - but they don't have a grease hole in the side for use with the zerk fitting.) The sleeves are slightly pitted so this will be something to revisit once I finish sorting out other parts of the bike.

    I've replaced the one big bearing by two little bearings.
    Put a hacksaw on the side of the two bearings, and made
    look them in front of each other.
