Reply To: Tapered Thrust Bearings on Steering Shaft

[Karl Krouch]

Charles, glad to help, $62 should get them to you priority mail. I have installed five sets, and sold many more. I only had one tooth holder fight me. The original milling of the fork was shallow on just one side and required minor grinding to fit one outer washer. Keep in mind the washer does not spin. The original bearing used the housing and tooth as races. The replacement has hardened washers ground to make the .250 total bearing. Also be sure to re-weld the bolt after you install the tooth again. Something else to keep in mind: you can distort the holder and bind the bearings by over torquing the bolt. Call me if you have any questions. Karl
