Hi all,
I need some help. I have replaced a faulty alternator, (1998 ST1100) all went fine, and I am up to installing the swing arm and drive shaft, but I cannot get the swing arm to fit into the right hand pivot mount while the shaft is connected. I have the Clymer and Honda workshop manuals which describe the job as fairly straight forward, but it's not working for me.
Is there some magic technique that I am missing, I have trawled posts here and there but no go.
There appears to be a mis-alignment of about 15mm between the drive shaft and the swing arm before the swing arm pivot on the RHS fits into it's recess.
Would appreciate the help.
Thanks.
Chris.
