blocky Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 You will need a VERY strong press and some heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Dremmel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbohead Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Yes Sir, a Dremel (or a Chinese clone), some heat and a sharp chisel. No problems, just watch out for flying parts in your workshop as you give it a nice blow after almost cutting through the bearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Why ???? And you are talking about the shaft and not just the brg. race ?... Edited February 7, 2017 by axulsuv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ask greeves Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The correct way to remove the bottom yoke steering stem, is with a press ,in a downwards direction,(as if towards the front wheel direction). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki250 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes, you need to use a press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Break the rollers and cage ,and IF you have an arc welder quickly weld a good blob on opposite sides of the remaining inner , with a punch I can always lightly then tap inner off .

smokey125 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Yes the proper way of doing it is with a press, but if the person using the press doesn't know how to use it properly, and there's plenty that don't and you don't make or have appropriate covers/spacers etc then you can do more harm than good. Personally I've always used the method of breaking the outer cage and using a Dremmel type tool to grind through the inner race carefully when it thins out enough it will crack through due to the interference fit of the bearing.

axulsuv Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) I always do it by hand with a small bearing splitter , or carefully with a dremmel as above ...But the stem from the lower yoke is anther story , CAREFUL Press work with the proper pieces to keep everything square and true , if not things split in undesired places ...
