The large taper should go up not down as the manual shows. the long side goes up through the top tripple tree for a 99 fxstc. Dremel tool to cut the bottom bearing off. 1" x !2" piece of galvenized pipe to press the new one on.
PEACE!
How many miles? I have 65K on my softail and everything feels good. Never wanted to fix something that wasn't broke.
