[QUOTE="kmanflyer, post: 1419496, member: 91752"] ReRose, I used [URL="https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-steering-stem-bearing-installer-p"]this tool[/URL] along with 3# sledge supported on the anvil part of my 6" bench vice and it worked great, 3-5 good whacks and it was fully seated. Don't forget to put the seal on first. If you want to make your own out some metal plumbing pipe, the dims are 14" length X 1.25" ID. Get a threaded end cap for one end of the pipe to beat on. Bring the old race with you to the hardware store to match up a pipe that could work, use the old race between the pipe and bearing to drive it. I used a tool similar to [URL="https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/tusk-bearing-race-and-seal-driver-kit-p"]this[/URL] along with the old races and the 3# sledge to drive the new races into the steering head. They have this set at HF, and can be used for other jobs. Hope this gives you some ideas. [/QUOTE]
