Steering Stem bearing Race removal
Hi there.
Just got all my parts together and gonna start with fork swap.
Just wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how to remove/install the steering stem bearing race (top/bottom) with just general tools?
Have a punch to get them out but putting them back in level seems like it might be the tricky part.
Thanks in advance for any info

They come out easy with a drift
I tap them back in with a hard plastic mallet
Or get them started and use the old race to drive them in with a hammer

Re: Steering Stem bearing Race removal

i wasnt planning on redoing the bearing but Ron advised me to so i will, long story short, is there a difference between the upper and lower races ?
or is this a question that will awnser itself when i go to tap the old ones out ?

Yes, they are different sizes. Try to keep the races paired up with the bearings they came with.
For example, don't use new bearings with old races.
