    I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. 89 VR about 70k on her and I have a rear wheel bearing that has worn out. what i thought would be the easy part, getting the right side slip on can off, is now apparently going to be the toughest. the joint is all rusted together and I can't get it to brake loose. I got the old muffler clamp off by twisting the head of the bolt off. the joint obviousy is rusty. I've soaked in penetrating fluid for a few days now. it looks cleaner but not budging. I've tried hitting the end with a hammer..nothing. tried heat..nothing. put a strap around the can so I could have someone pull as i hammered below...nothing. i did remove the mount bolt by the rear footrest. any help would be appreciated. I'm worried I'm going damage the collector if I rip and snort much more. can the rear wheel be dropped any lower by removing a linkage bolt? I need to get the rear axle out. thanks much Bob.

    Member here too. I second the road side assistance and the fact they are a voice for us. They do offer some discount benefits also. I have used the 15% discount at Choice hotels a lot. personally i think it is a decent deal that is good for our lifestyle. btw you also get a monthly magazine and a cool sticker. bob

    BTW...some great riding in Brown county. 135 is a great ride with some great destinations nearby. http://www.storyinn.com/ http://www.nashville-indiana.com/ http://www.browncounty.com/ Nashville in Brown County is an old artist colony that has a lot of shopping and things to do/see. Not that I'm advocating this area..but we know it pretty well.
