[QUOTE="Rolls, post: 24789, member: 28"] The pipe & hammer method is the way I do it. The fit of the bearing onto the steering stem is not that much of a press. I put the stem into the fridge for about 5 minutes or so. Just long enough to get cold, but not frosty. Let the bearing sit in the sun for a while until it warmed up thoroughly. Don't put it in the oven. It only needs to be good and warm. Take the stem out of the fridge, grease it up, and tap the bearing into place using the pipe and hammer. You shouldn't need to hammer very hard to get the bearing onto the stem. The most important thing is to make sure that the bearing is started straight and not cocked. [/QUOTE]
