Just did the ones on my '87, they were suprisingly rusty!!! You have to disasemble the tripple trees and the races are a bugger since they line the goose neck with a tube the same thickness as the wide part of the race.... you cant drive them out with a punch from the backside... I had to weld two beads with a wirefeed on opposite sides and was able to pull them out. The bearing was a standard trailer axle bearing at the part store but get the GOOD ones, they are still cheap.
