Head race bearings

[jonb_5]

Hi

I have taken the yokes off the bike but when you buy a new set you get the upper and lower bearings but also the seats which go in the frame tube.

The question is how do i get the old ones out?

Thanks

Using a drift, hit them hard-ish from the opposite side of the way u want them to come out,

to get the top ones out, hit them from the bottom, and vice-versa.

I like to use an old socket that fits nice on the new bearings as a drift to get the new ones in.
I use a big spanner that just fits over the stem to push down the new bottom bearing. patience is the key.
worth putting the cups in the freezer night before too

Or do it in the middle of winter, like me
