[QUOTE="I'mAllIn, post: 385859, member: 1735"] I found some bicycle tools to help with my Timken roller bearing installation. Might be old trick for some and hopefully benificial to others. I bought them from www.ebikeshop.com. Cup remover is part # 004-TL7123, cup press is part # 004-TL8275. Cup (or race) removal tool is in the center. Insert thru steering head, branches slip behind cup, good solid blow with hammer and voila, cup comes right out. Worked like a charm. [IMG]https://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j205/imallin_2006/FJR%20Farkled/IMG_2097.jpg[/IMG] Cup press. Insert thru steering head with new cups, screw together and press cups in steering head. Note the old cup in the middle. I used it to press against the new cups so they could seat all the way since both the bottom and top cup are slighty recessed in the steering head. I also used the (2) nuts at the bottom since the top handle couldn't be turned due to lack of clearance with dash. This tool could easily be "home-made" for about $10 at Home Depot. Also worked like a charm.
