getting steering stem bearing out

[Jeremy_bell_banshee99]

I need to get my steering stem bearing out, tried beating it out but wont work? What will help?

[cline]

I just viewed a discussion not to long ago and there were at least three different devices used by different members that seemed to produce the same result.......removing the bearing successfully. Other than that I will beat the dead horse and say what I have already read from all the other wise men on here a million times. Get yourself a clymers manual which is a banshee owners must have tool to be added to you tool box. Heres the link to the discussion hope it at least gets you started or helps some.

You have to take the threaded retainer out then take a socket the diameter of the outside of the bearing and beat it out. I welded a socket onto a hex head bolt the size of the retainer. Some just use a couple jam nuts on the hex bolt to give you something you can grab onto with a socket or wrench. The thread provided should shed some light on this.
