put a rod through the hole in the front of the engine block then put on axle stands.

i dont have a garage and i done mine in my garden. if you have all the bits it should take you a day of easy work, if you go at it it will take 4hrs.

the secret is to make sure you have EVERYTHING you need first including the tools especially the stem locknut tool.

its not a stem nut tool (thats just a big socket) you need the castellated socket tool to remove/install the actual locking nuts under the top yoke.

you also need a T40 security bit socket to get the ignition off/on.

tub of bearing grease. brake fluid.

i'll go check if the headstock bearings are the same. yes bearings are the same.
