steering bearings
Bryanj:
Memory vague but seem to remember it was either the honda washer or the kit washer not both
MIKE550/4:
should i prise this washer and rubber washers off and give it another go then you think
Bryanj:
Try it without the washer from the kit first, I seem to remember washer went on some models but not others.
as long as bearings adjust nice with no free play all is OK
MIKE550/4:
something not right here, without the washer that came from the kit, it still does not fit, top washer goes on and no threads left to put on top nut on,
bet this original honda washer will be a bugger to get off
matthewmosse:
use some blocks of wood/ planks to cussion the yolks in a vice and use a chisel and hammer working progresssively round the yolk tap it off. when I fitted taper bearings to my 550 I used original rubber washer that was already there at the bottom, it was less than a mil thick. the bearing set I bought didn't come with any seals or washers though, it would have been nice to have a new washer to keep the new bearings clear of road dirt so don't leave it out. Almost looks in that piccky like the old bottom bearing race is still in place ??? If so get rid...........
