You might consider putting the races in the freezer overnight. This should shrink them a little and make them easier to put on. | |||
Take the larger bearing race (#99-3503) and install it on the lower part of the frame's steering head. To do this, get a piece of pipe that's a teensy bit smaller on the outside diameter than the race, but large enough so it cannot slip into the bearing surface of the race. You want to apply pressure all around the edge of the race without touching the inside of it. You can also use a socket of just the right size. | Take the larger bearing race (#99-3503) and install it on the lower part of the frame's steering head.
