Di Really need to replace the inner cam bearings?
I plan on installing SE 255 cams into my 09 street glide with 4k miles. Do I really need to replace the inner cam bearings during the install? The tool cost for a one time use is a little high. Has anyone not replaced them?The miles are low and they are already roller bearings, is it really necessary? If so, does anyone want to rent me thier tools?

Put the Torrington's in. B 168's. You can get them at George's garage for $20 each. It's worth it if you are already in there. You can get a bearing puller from Auto Zone for free. http://www.georges-garage.com/tc_engine_2.htm

No need to replace. The bearings in the older models did have a recall may years ago. There is no need to change the bearing. The OEM bearing are of good quality and will last as long as any other bearing in your engine. If your being told that they are week, then why not replace the crank and rod bearing also? Just my opinion. Good insurance would to be buy the extended warranty.
