Before you Start:
• For procedure refer to vehicle manufacturer’s hand book or reputable workshop
manual.
Positioning the bearing race using the Bearing Seating Tool:
1. Choose correct adaptor to fit the bearing race. Fit this to the Bearing Seating
Tool with chamfered surface facing outward.
2. For ease of bearing race installation, lubricate the outside of the bearing race.
3. Place bearing race onto race adaptor. Using the Bearing Seating Tool, gently
‘start’ the bearing race into position on the steering head. (Refer to Fig. 1.)
Installing the upper bearing race:
1. Refer to Figure 2: adjust length of Bearing Press Tool by releasing the securing
tab (press in) and move thrust collar to a suitable slot that leaves enough of the
threaded portion of the tool to enable fitment of the Forcing Screw | Handle
Assembly when assembled to the steering head.
IMPORTANT: The threaded portion of the Bearing Press Tool must be
lubricated with HMP grease.
2. Assemble the tool to the steering head; the new bearing race has already been
placed in position (see preceding section). Place the correctly sized Race
Adaptor onto the bearing race. Screw the Forcing Screw | Handle Assembly on
to the threaded portion of the tool.
3. Steadily tighten the Forcing Screw | Handle Assembly to draw the bearing race
into the steering head. Continue tightening until bearing race is fully seated.
