Steering head bearings. Question?

[Stuman]

Hi, 1 week ago my fork seals leaked. I disasebmble front end and i decide to replace old ball bearings on the steering stem with a new ones...
I have a question. Should i remove all ball races before i install new bearings? And what is the dimensions or specifications of the replaceable bearings?

I would change them to tapered bearings. They're much easier to take care of, and will provide a much better ride.

That's a previous thread on how to do that.

 :) Yes, you have to remove ALL the old race's before installing the new tapered bearing's. I buy mine from e-bay...
