stem bearings

15 Feb 2011 07:20 - 15 Feb 2011 07:21

hey guys. i have some all balls racing stem tapered bearings from Z1e. leon sent out my triples and they should be here thursday evening. i have never installed bearings for the steering. all i know is that they need to be "pressed" in evenly. not sure about where to add grease exept for the bearings themselves. any tips would be great, or maybe even a link to a video showing tapered bearings install. thanks Joe

That's basically it. Just be careful where the pipe it putting pressure. I believe you want it to push on the inner race only? It's just a snug metal on metal fit. The top one will be much easier to install than the bottom bearing set.
