These new tapered steering head bearings should be a standard upgrade on any Slash Two that still has ball bearings in the head stock. |
I removed the bearings and races in a previous blog post. Now we are installing the new bearings. |
Even though the new bearings came greased. I like to thoroughly clean them with solvent and run them in my fingers to check for smoothness. |
Then I grease the bearings in my trusty bearing packer. Compared to a royal sized mess packing using your fingers, this method only makes a medium sized mess!! |
Tap down the inner race on the fork using a brass drift. Tap only on the inner race and go evenly around to ensure it settles in evenly. |
