Default Re: Steering stem removal

Zunkus, it's 18 months since I did this and I can't remember! (it's an age thing, you see).

From memory, the new bearing has a seal, so doesn't need the dust shield, which you destroyed anyway during removal (as I did). No, you can't heat the bearing, so it needs to be presed onto the stem. Or most likely hammered on, using a metal tube which has a good fit over the steering stem, as a drift, against the inner race.
