d**n bearings! As some of you might remember from my post below, I am in the process of tearing my K5 down to rebuild/weld the bike. After I got the swing arm off the frame and the linkage removed from the rocker-arm, I noticed that just about all the bearings are shot on my bike. Go figure, it's a '93 and the DFO's probably never did any maint on it.
Anyway, my question is, how do I get the bearings out? I can get the dust cap and inner bearing out. The outer (where the needle bearings are) seems like it's frozen in, which it might be.
I am also looking at the steering-stem bearings, but they seem to be in good shape. I think I will just clean them up and repack the heck out of them. getting the races out of those seems like waaaayyy to much work.
Any help would be appricated!
