Has anyone ever installed an inner bearing race without any of the Harley Special Tools? Installing the bearing is a breeze but I notoced the race is gallled bad and needs replacing as well.
Getting the old one off will be easy enough, I'll just grind it off. I was thinking of heating the new race in the oven to 350 deg., cooling the shaft and tap gently into place. Thoughts? It's a good trick for most cup bearings in cases etc. It's actually how I installed the bearing itself in the inner case. Drops right in.

Yeah I've done it.
Not a big deal.
Sounds like you already know what you're doing.
Even w/o heat,
you can drive it on with some love taps.
I believe the service manual will give you
the measurement for spacing.
Yeah, that old race is UGLY.
thanx for the picture.
