Swingarm removal for a noob. Talk slow... use small words.
Hey guys, working on swapping out my stock arm for an Evil +6 setup. I have everything off except the factory arm. Please forgive me as this is the first time I have tackled a swingarm swap solo and I am nervous as to screw something up and stress the frame.
So, remove the lock nut on the clutch side, then remove the slotted nut from the right side. What I don't understand is the setup of the adjustment collars. I am sure it will make sense when I get in there but I am just trying not to get in over my head. I assume all my bearings will transfer over to the new arm (bike only has 6xx miles on it so I am figuring they will all be in good condition). I need to transfer over the pivot shaft bearings and the shock pivot bushings, correct?
When I am setting up the new arm I set up the adjustment collar so that the bearing is setting flush with the right side of the arm, correct? Will the arm sit tight end to end or will there be space in it at the left side?
If someone would take the time to explain this to me I would be REALLY appreciative. I understand this is childs play to most of you but I have never done an arm swap and I'm just really nervous about getting it all set up right. I have decent mechanical knowledge, just hesitant to start ripping parts out that are going to support my ass at 150+.
Thanks!

So I took off the left (Clutch) side nut and the axle slid freely out the other side.I need the spanner socket for the right side, the punch and hammer I was trying to use to tap it out was just destroying the nut. I assume that I need that removed before I take out the axle.
