[QUOTE="profireguy, post: 591460, member: 1596"] I bought the driver tool a long time ago to do this, and unless you can borrow one, I think it's money well spent. I read the threads about how people had to heat/cool the stem, take it to a shop to get it pressed on, and some that never got it fully seated. With this tool, a few whacks at room temp and everything was set. Plus, it's a NEW TOOL. :dribble: You can't have too many. I set my bearings by feel, after an initial torque. I did set them too loose at first and got a clunk during braking over bumps, so I tightened them up a bit more. With the front wheel off the ground, the bar should stay centered, but a gentle push should let the bar swing to the stop either way without drag. [/QUOTE]
