So for the lower swivel pin, can you hit it from the bottom up? I have some slop in mine I would like to fix.

Is this the part number I need? Swivel pin - 17-54052T 1

Is there a bearing that is around the pin? Anyone have that part number, or where to get it?

thanks,

jon

Yes that should be the correct number for the pin. Yes there is a bearing (31-54928) and seals on each end of it (26-54927).
Here is a place you can get them.

Mine came out easier from the bottom up, but I think it's just luck, there is no step/taper or anything. Soak it with PB blaster.

There is a full-complement needle roller bearing pressed into the gimbal ring with an oil seal on either side of it.

Good luck with it. Randy

Was going to ask a few other questions, but after waking up and going out back, I was able to pound it out.

Thought I could get to the needle bearing without pulling the gimbal ring, but I guess I now need to remove the top pin so I can get to that bearing.
