Removing the headstock bearings is so simple. It took a mate and myself 15 mins max to remove both races. First remove the cage and rollers, the cages are quite flimsy and can be removed with a screwdriver. Then weld a washer just slightly smaller than the inner race on top of the inner race. We then welded a nut on to the washer which had the same thread as the slide hammer. Top yoke in vice(one man job), forks on ground, with me holding and mate doing the hammer(two man job). Job done.

Nice quote john, only trouble is, brokeabolt is describing the removal of the inner bearing race from the fork yoke............Originally posted by John Wakefield View Post
......not the outer race from the alloy beam, as les specified

Yes but same principle applies, weld a piece of metal to the outer race then you can drift it out from the opposite end,Comment
