Hi Squid,

 

You might find a wider audience for your enquiry if you can move / repost your question in the Workshop - Service questions?

Hope you manage to get it sorted.

Not too shore what you mean

The top of the dogbones run on a bolt though a bush 13 and two needle bearing 13 see below

The other lower end end is attached to the "arm" in a similar fasion

Not on a NC but I have changed similar needle bearings, if the bearing has failed the bushes will be horrid and pushing the needle bearing out and new ones in is not an easy task

I have no experience of the NC but have done it on other bikes. The needle roller can be driven out with a suitable drift. Be careful when re-fitting because they can be damaged if you go daft with a hammer. Here's a snap of me pressing the bearings into the rocker (cushion in Honda speak)) of my FJ using a threaded rod, nuts and  washers.
