Hey guys, any tricks on removing the bearings in the linage arm? 2016 KTM 125. They are so rusted over, I have no idea what the previous owner was thinking. They are not loose needle bearings but in a cage.
Thanks so much!

I always file a small groove into my link arms so I can get good contact with a punch onto the bearing to make removal easier in the future

Keep tightening the end with the big socket and it will pull the smaller socket and bearing right out.
Rusted linkage bearings usually are from poorly aimed blasts from a pressure washer. I'd check the wheel bearings too.
I'm sure the previous owner blasted the crap out of them also.
