1. Remove handlebars, throttle, clutch assy, kill button, front fender, and forks. Then, loosen
steering stem head nut on top of the clamp.
2. The top clamp will pull off and the lock nut will turn off by hand. Pull out the lower clamp with
stem. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE BEARING. It will come off with the stem.
3. Find a small hand controlled press (Most auto or machine shops will have one of these). You
will also need a suitable steel tube or bushing with a large enough ID for the stem to go through
and which will support the triple clamp around the stem bore. Place a cardboard box or other
container underneath the press table to catch the stem when it falls out.
4. Position the clamp and bushing over the hole in the press table. Press down on the top of the
stem, as shown above, until the stem drops out through the bottom of the table. Clean all parts
thoroughly. Now might be a good time to replace the bearing.
