RE: Inserting swingarm bearings
If you don't have access to a press I would go the vise route. It will be easier to keep things straight.
Just make sure you use a big socket on the bearing so your pushing on the outer race.
If you don't itspossibleto damage the bearing. Also it shoud go in snugly not really tight. If it goes in harddouble check to make sure its not cocked a little.

RE: Inserting swingarm bearings
DIY works well enough. Could even persuade your local wrench to get them in or out for you. But if you want the tool, here it is.
Not sure who else carries and how much. This one is part no 20900 from Custom Chrome catalog and lists online for about $45.
