bansheesandrider Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 To get the steering STEM bearing out, you remove the upper seal by prying it out and then you use a 30mm allen wrench to remove the retaining nut. Most guys end up making a tool out of a nut and bolt welded together and using a regular socket to turn it. Sometimes, if it is not too tight or corrroded, you can use a pair of 90 degree expanding snap ring pliers to loosen the nut, just squeeze the fingers into opposing corners of the nut. Also, make sure you don't lose the collar that the lower seal runs on, it slips on the stem after it goes through the bearing and before the washer goes on. If it is not there, your stem will move up and down when you put it back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
