When you do drill holes and install grease fittings for future greasing   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #459794 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2244 Re:steering problem 1 Year, 3 Months ago   check that there is nothing obstructing your turning such as cables, steering padlock location, etc.after that it only leaves the bearings in the steering head, good luck, mort   Logged     http://s1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa389/roadiemort1953/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #459796 fordhunt (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 110 Re:steering problem 1 Year, 3 Months ago   no i have checked, no obsructions . how big of a job is that . because its apart know getting it painted so i got the room to do the job .   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #459801 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5962 Re:steering problem 1 Year, 3 Months ago   fordhunt wrote: no i have checked, no obsructions . how big of a job is that . because its apart know getting it painted so i got the room to do the job . You have to pull the forks and tree to get to the stem bearings. It is a bit of a job and you need a bike jack, but it is more time consuming than hard if you have any mechanical ability. I'm not sure but check the Tech articles there is probably a step by step.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #459803 fordhunt (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 110 Re:steering problem 1 Year, 3 Months ago   ok thanks dave..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #459821 USAFretired (User) Moderator Posts: 1155 Re:steering problem 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Probably a cracked bearing race. I had to replace mine for that problem.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
