After being sidetracked for a while, I believe I will be able to start the head bearing replacement on my 99. I have mentioned before that I am relatively new to motorcycles and extremely new to wrenching. So I am not the most knowledgeable about tools either. I read HS guide on how to do it, however there was some information missing. The Steering Stem Nut (part #90304-MJ4-670) size isn't listed. What size socket do I need for that? HS said he used a metal rod to hammer out the races, is this a special tool or just a spare piece of metal? Also seating the bearings he mentions using bearing hammer. Don't have one of those either, is there a substitute? On the new tapered rollers, he packs them with grease. What kind of grease do you use? Actually, after typing this out I am beginning to wonder if I should have this done. The cost of buying the tools might be the same as having a pro do it. Thoughts?
