I have only done this on older bikes with steel frames, but just use a little heat on the frame, chill the bearing, and tap it in with a socket that matches the bearing in size. For me it went real easy. Getting the lower bearing onto the the lower triple clamp is more tricky, but a shop will do it in under a minute.

Come on it can't be that easy... My AF needs them replaced and I would like to get it done!AlisoBob wrote:Use dry ice, and the race will fall in.
You dont need any special tools
For the bearing, heat it with a torch.... it will fall onto the triple clamp shaft
