Davehuge Member May 29, 2017 #1 Hi all I've just bought a bearing and seal kit for my EC300 swinging arm pivot. The kit includes: 4x seals - OK 4x bearings - OK 4x Sleeves - But my swinging arm only has 2 sleeves in it. So what are the other 2 sleeves for? See attached photo of kit. Thanks, Dave.

Davehuge Member May 29, 2017 #4 Thanks... Thanks guys, that makes sense. Thought I was missing something! All the best, Dave.
