Bearing replacement instructions
For a complete bearing replacement you will need the following fully sealed bearings:
4 x 6001 2RS (for upper link pivots)
2 x 6001 2RS (for chainstay pivots)
2 x 6202 2RS (for pivot above BB)
We only recommend using high quality bearings (SKF, FAG, INA)
We used these bearings as they are very easy and cheap to source from any bearing
shop. But they are also available from our distributors as a kit.
Tools needed:
- One 6mm Allen key
- Two 5mm Allen keys
- One 4mm Allen key
- Torque wrench
- Grease
- Blue Loctite
- Sliding rail bearing puller
- Bearing press
- Rubber mallet (optional)
1: Stuff a rag under the bottom link to prevent damages to the frame. Remove the shock
from the frame using a 6mm Allen key. Then remove the pivot axles using appropriate
Allen keys.
2: Remove all the pivot axles from the frame carefully. If the axle is difficult to remove,
slide a punch or Allen key into the pivot axle and lightly tap it out. Be careful not to
damage the threads.
3: Remove the bearing from the frame with a sliding rail bearing puller.
4: Clean and inspect the frame once the bearings are removed.
Reinstallation:
5: Press the bearings into the frame using a bearing press.
⚠Caution: Do NOT press the bearings into the frame without the links in place; doing
so can damage the frame.
Clean and inspect all pivot axles prior to reassembly. If needed, order replacement
axles through Banshee or your local dealer.
The links can fit very tightly in the frames at times, take time and be gentle when
inserting them. Be extra careful to ensure that they are going in straight.
6: Lightly grease the pivot axles and reinsert them into the frame. Prepare the axle bolts
with blue Loctite. Using appropriate sized Allen keys, tighten the pivot axles to torque
etched on the axle / bolt.
7: Apply blue Loctite to shock bolts and reinsert the rear shock.
