Man this project has fought me every step of the way.

When I removed the upper outer race I broke it when chiseling it out. The lower race came out fine, I was going to use it as a spacer when trying to press in the new races. I was going to cut it with the dremmelso it had a little give so I can get it out of the steering head rather easily. Well that was a mistake, damn thing snapped in half.

I was able to use part of it to get the upper race set, but its not going to help at all on the lower. I may try to jb weld it since I will be using a threaded rod and some washers to try and press it into the frame.
