Great post. +2. I tear mine down every year, including right after I bought it.

I ride enduro aprox. 3 times a week, and i dismount my link and swing once month to grease things up! I can not belive your blaming the factory for you not taking care off your bike
4 years off mud and highpressure (hot water?) washes, on one off the most important device on the bike... Is it Öhlins fault that the suspension is bad and out off gas after 4 years aswell (when yor told to service it every 20h)?

Here is a link with pictures on a home made puller. Hope it helps. I was at thumper talk this morning and noticed this again and thought of actually providing you with the link I previously mentioned.

Great ingenuity. Thanks for the link. I hope I never need it.
Jet Lube has been great on my rear end. Saved lots of $ on bearings.

You could always drill half moon head off, run the nut on the threads, and then go to town with an impact wrench. That will free it from the cases and linkage, but it could still be seized to the bearing sleeves. Now you have the option of driving it both ways though.

I don't even ride a new bike until its completely regreased and anti-seized.
