robertnixon348 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I am trying to remove the steering bearings in my montesa cota 348 and the bottoms of the bearings are stuck so much so that iv begun to wonder if the come out at all. im not the most experienced person with a set of spanners so any help regarding the steering bearings suck as can i replace them with tapered roller bearings. Any help is much appreciated thanks Rob Edited July 10, 2011 by RobertNixon348 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 On some bikes, the bearings protrude a bit into the neck, so you can knock them out from the inside with a long punch. If you are really lucky, the factory thought to include a notch or 2 so you can get a good purchase with the punch. Lacking those things, you may have to destroy the bearing and leave the outer race in the neck. If you run a bead of weld around the race, it will literally drop out when the weld cools.
