Swingarm bearings

Not having any handling problems or noises. Gettin' ready to take a trip from Az. to Detroit in a couple weeks & got to thinking about the swingarm bearings. I've got 66k on the bike & they have never been apart or repacked. Searched for info & most of it comes up for FL models. Mostly about how the shaft wont come out. Like I mentioned I'm not having any problems but I have about 10 days before I leave. Does the Dyna have any problems with swingarm removal or is it pretty straight forward like the manual states? Or will it be Ok like it is? Suggestions!

Manual says to repack them every 10k. In all my years riding I can't remember anyone ever saying they were going to repack their swingarm bearings or take it in to a shop for it.

I'm guessing you have a '95 low rider? Try searching rear fork bearings. Mine an '07 and the manual calls them rear fork bearings and mine are sealed bearnings.
