Hi, I am planning to do the same thing, but I think you can skip some struggle by simply removing the wheel fender and the tubes of the fork from triple clamp. Also, to install the bottom race you can invent some sort of press with a long big screw and sockets at the end, tighten a pulley on that screw will pull the bearings in? I also preffer wacking them but underneed there is a bit scary. At least your wobble without hands at low speed was gone after this? Thanks for video! I do the same and my "shop" looks the same. :D Edit:... a long screw with a big pulley at the end is the actual axle of the fork> :D
Yeah there’s methods to do it, I didn’t want to bother and I thought was a bit less of a struggle than what it was. Actually the wobble was gone, but I also changed the front tire. I’m sure it was a combination of both!
@@MotoRoUsa I did it today, I installed the all balls ones. I managed to remove the lower inner race by heating it and knock it with a chisel, little by little in 10mins it was out. Also thanks to your video I didn't forget to put the bottom seal!! :D. Yep, the PIA was to put the outer lower race in the frame neck. It took me 1-2h of swearing and a combination of hits with a large socket and the old race.. Also I invented some sort of press from one large puller I had around. The rest was easy peasy.. :D Thanks for the video, it was inspiring!
@@bogdanbelciu6242 glad you got it done! Yes it’s a pain in the ass sometimes but we gotta work with what we have lol. Suntem români până la urmă, trebuie să le rezolvăm lol
