what are you guys using to remove the headset races? hammer and drift?
Yep, tap,tap,tap, round and round.
+ 1 Bigger the better. Big old socket for setting it back in. Take your time. It will pay off.
Sounds like a 5 hr job?

Time spent is dependent on bike stand. Great time to swap fluids in your forks. Better get a half rack.
About to replace mine for second, maybe third, time but it's one of the jobs I prefer others, who know what they're doing and have done it before, to do - one hour max in that case.
well i ordered the bearing/races (... throttle cables, and Voltage regulator) but i think im gonna hold off till i get a set of seals, ill do the forks/fluids and the bearings at the same time.
man its expensive, the seal kit and fluid alone cost about $300.00
