I'm planning to change me bearings on my revolt and need to move out the rear arms : how can i did it ? already get off everything. Like the photo you can see. Is there something else to pull of ?

Thanks for your help guys !!
Nothing else to pull off apart from the rear triangle dude. Lift it upwards while pulling the open end apart so as not to scratch the frame. When your rear triangle is off you push the bearings out away from the bike
Thanks a lot dude ! had to use my legendary force so ^^ I receive you part, thanks again
Has anyone tried emailing kevin about spares ? Hes usually awesome with customer service and may have spare parts still around
Spares for the Revolt are running pretty thin on the ground right now. However if its just bushings that you're after they use the same ones in the Undead so you can just buy a bushing kit for that
- There is two big bearing and two small bearing (on the down tube) for a total of 4 bearing for the bike, not much compare to my old demo wich have about 10 bearing :s

- The size of small bearings is it this one ? external diameter : 24 mm internal diameter : 12 mm thickness : 6 mm
- The size of big one : external diameter : 42 mm internal diameter: 30 mm thickness : 7 mm
Hope that one of you going to have a sensible answer to my query. I've recently bought an evil revolt 2nd hand (2009 frame) and as I've not seen or ridden one before didn't really know much about the built up of the frame (only what ive vaguely seen on the web). There was a small play in the bushing on the swing arm and I've taken it apart when I've noticed some "extra" welds near the bottom bracket under the shock so it couldn't have been seen when it was all together. That made me a bit suspicious - on top of that its been re-sprayed last year - and googled some more photos of what it really should look like. As it turned out someone along the line has welded 3 plates around the bottom bracket for what I'm hoping as bracing - not but covering the broken section up.
Could you look at the pictures and see if you reckon it has been repaired properly.
The previous owner of course denies any knowledge of this and reckons that he has done all sorts of drops and jumps and never had any bother with.

Honestly- just send it back and get your cash back, it's been abused and repaired. Revolts look great but had soo many issues due to poor alignment, just steer clear IMO

Send it back. Revolts had alignment problems (not all of them, mine hasn't) but the problem was in the linkage area, not with swing arm pivot. Mine is 2010 and I still have to replace the swing arm bearings because they're still perfect.
Here's mine, freshly rebuilt with new Dorados. Still a great bike.

Not denying they ride well, they do. However if you speak to Kevin at Evil he will quite happily say they had problems. I was told the way to check was to remove the flip chips and shock and hne try to put them back together right. If you encounter issues its probable its out of line, a way to combat it is to reverse the flip chip one side and loctite them.
Heres my old bike, I really miss it looking at it now
sad to say lewis everyone is correct you have to go mad on inspection if you buy one of them frames to make sure you get a good one there are good ones around but there few and far between. Dont let it put you off of the brand though the newer bikes are great.
Just built up my old revolt. Rides great but I need new shoulder bolts. Evil Europe thinks it might be impossible to find and says the Revolt is more of a collectors item now and offered me a crash replacement on an Undead. Problem is that the price wasn't really that great and 26" bikes will be collectors items within a few months as well.
So I need to find fresh shoulder bolts, any ideas?

It's the steel bolts that go through the dog link (black alu on the first gen) so it's none of those unfortunately.
I think custom made is going to be the way Im afraid maybe if you can get a few revolt owners together and all go in with a company to make a set up and share the cost?
failing that buy an uprising/undead one and modify it.
