PROX Lower Shock Bearing Kit for HONDA CR 500 1996-2001

On HONDA CR 500 from 1996 to 2001, the PROX 26.450030 shock bearing kit fits in place of the original part. The shock is mounted at both ends on bearings or spherical bearings. Seized or worn, they create play and hold the shock back: the rear end becomes harsh and the suspension loses its sensitivity.

Specifications

• Brand: PROX
• Manufacturer part number: 26.450030

When to replace it?

• Play at the rear when you lift the wheel.
• Spherical bearing or bearing that binds, clunking noise at the rear.
• Rusty bearing or marked sleeve at disassembly.

Check these bearings every time you remove the shock and at the same time as the linkage. Check whether it is the upper or the lower mount (given in the name).

Fitting tips

1. Remove the shock as per the manual.
2. Press out the old bearing or spherical bearing and clean the mounting eye.
3. Press in the new bearing, with the seals and sleeves packed with waterproof grease.
4. Refit the shock and tighten the pivot bolts to the manual's torque.
