So-all 1500 owners looking to replace their u joints with Honda Parts would end up with the Valkyrie/GL1500 97+ joint, which requires the larger diameter transmission to swingarm bellows seal also?
Removing GL1500 U-joint
So I am mid-teardown and decided to pull the rear/shaft and u-joint just because, well, I want to. It's never been done. Anyway, the u-joint almost fits out between the output shaft and swing arm. My swing arm bearings are fine so I do not want to pull it. Can I, using a 17mm hex, remove the right side swingarm bolt and pry gently on the swingarm to move it enough to get the u-joint out? I do not have the tool to remove the special locknutted side.
The u-joint feels fine from what I can tell, but with over 97k on the bike I thought it good to maybe drop it at a driveline shop for a disassemble and re-grease.
Thanks.

I do not work for Honda so I am not really qualified to say...So-all 1500 owners looking to replace their u joints with Honda Parts would end up with the Valkyrie/GL1500 97+ joint, which requires the larger diameter transmission to swingarm bellows seal also?
However... I can cross reference a part number and last I looked the part currently offered as replacement for my 1996 Aspy is the same numebr as the one listed for my 1998 Valk.
