[QUOTE="Monte, post: 1465095, member: 100132"] I just did mine on my 07 yesterday. I went with the Pivot Works kit from all balls due to they say the bearings are NOT from China, I have my doubts, I was going to get the Timkin 32006X Bearings but could not locate the seals for it. after I got the Pivot Works kit i was able to get a part # E5279 off the bag from the kit for next time, hope that info helps a few people. In my opinion toughest part of the job was seating lower race into frame tried all thread with washers did not work started pulling threads. Ended up using the old race and a air hammer working it slowly around to finally get it seated. Original bottom race on stem had to Dremel down almost all the way through and hit with cold chisel to crack it. put stem in freezer for a few hours heated new bearing to 200 with heat gun and dropped on using old cracked race upside down and pvc to seat worked easier then I expected. overall took me about 4-5 hours [/QUOTE]
