Book Excerpt: 1948-1965 Harley-Davidson Panhead Repair Manual STEERING HEAD: BEARING RACE
Whenever the steering stem and bearings are removed from the steering head, cover the steering head with a cloth to protect the bearing races from accidental damage. If a race is damaged, the bearing and race must be replaced as a set. Because the bearing races are pressed into place, do not remove them unless they are worn and require replacement. Fork Stem Bearing, Outer Bearing Race and Steering Head Cup Replacement Each individual bearing assembly consists of a tapered roller bearing, bearing race, dust shield (lower bearing) and steering head cup (A, Figure 68). When replacing a bearing, all of these parts must be replaced as a set. The bearing races are first pressed into the steering head cups and then the cups are pressed in the frame steering head. The lower bearing is installed over the fork stem (Figure 69). The upper bearing (Figure 77) is placed in the upper bearing race after the fork stem has been inserted through the frame steering head.
