Bearing replacement (steering)

[Detox]

There is a large bearing housed in the tope yoke of the 1100. The one on my bike appears to need replacing - has excess play. Has anybody attempted this job themselves or is it best left to a specialist. Appreciate any constructive advice.

Cheers,

Andy

Bearing

Looked at mine a couple of weeks ago. Bearing is a 5204 RS (£7 @ our local bearing supplier) and the job LOOKS simple enough. Undo all bolts, take the top yoke off, press bearing out, new one in, put back together - Bingo.

However, when Sod's Law takes over in mid-job...............

Anyone replaced the Telelever Ball joint, while I'm here.....?

Sorry for the hijack, Andy!

LRR,

thats a very good price you have been quoted for the bearing, please can you let me know who your supplier is?

p.s still looking for some advice on the actual replacement.
