Do you ever get through with working on that nice ride? I don't have the tools and I went to gear drive anyway.

So what did you use to pull and reinstall the bearings?

Had it done. I have an independent that is local. Can't say enough about this guy. He did it for me. He will let you work in his shop and point you in the right direction. He will work on your bike--order parts-- whatever. Labor is always reasonable and his work is right. Old school and old cool. I did a oil pan change out on a wide glide. Stopped at his shop and asked him if there was anything I needed to know before I started. He told me that I needed ball head allen wrenches and told me which bolt would give me problems.
