steering head bearing races

[jiggs]

anyone know of a good way to R&R races from cups, w/o expensive tools? ( timkens )

Weld a bead on the race and they will fall out of the cups.

i can't seem to use the search function well but this was asked 3 days ago. not trying to say don't ask questions but if you can figure out the search allot of things have been answered or gone over in some way..

i used the serach, don't have a welder, any other ways?

Drill small holes in the bottom of the cup below the race and drive them out with a pin punch. A little heat can help if needed.

[jiggs]

then you have cups with holes in them-rain= shot bearings in no time

Sorry I tried to help, put silicone in the holes after. Boat wheel bearings live UNDER water!

hey, upsrod no need for sorry, thanks for reply & input, guess i was looking for an easy way. nothing wrong with your suggesstion, just have OCD when it comes to scoots: took cups out, went to local weld shop, had them tig(low heat) small bead on races, they came right out, sent me on my way for $10. pressed new races in cups. thanks for all replys
