[QUOTE="ULEWZ, post: 1077361, member: 27489"] I just did this and it was not too difficult, but not for the weak or mechanically challenged. I used a long socket extension do drive the old races off the neck. The new bearing wacked on really easy with a 30 lb sledge. Make sure the driving tube fits over the inner race of the new bearing, not the outer race or it will damage it. 5 hits and it was on. The old race works good to seat the new races in the neck. I will try it out tomorrow to see how it feels. Oh, I used the All Balls kit. And thanks for the write up. Why did I do this? My front end felt loose so I tightened it up. Then it was too tight. No happy medium, so tapered bearings it was. [/QUOTE]
