Steering head bearings.

Is there anywhere I can purchase a steering head ballrace extractor as I need to replace both top and bottom ballraces due to pitting. Can the M20 be converted to taper roller bearings?

Yes I'm selling those tools here in UK on behalf of Robb Nortier in USA. They are £22 plus post. Email me.

Ian Wright was selling taper bearing kits or at least can tell you where/what to buy. I have them in my own WM20. Ron

Re: Steering head bearings.

many years ago I wished to replace the bearings on my BMW, they have a special tool for extraction which of course I didn't. however a tip given was to drill two very small holes through the bottom of the housings and punch them out filling the holes subsequently with grease, of course if you can obtain the correct tools this is the far beter way to go
as an aside when I fit these kinda bearings I smear the races with Wynns friction proofing then assemble with moly grease [can't spell the correct wording] 'tis obtainable if required in small quantities from car factors as it is the grease in Mini CV joints. kind regards

Re: Steering head bearings.

On stubborn races, you can run a ring of weld round them and they come out easily.

I haven't done one on the M20, but done it on tractors.

By the way, I bought a new Inverter welder last year. They are fantastic. I don't know why I persevered with my old Sealey for so long.

My special tool is a 1/2" cold chisel with a square cut out on one side.
This allows it to locate properly on the edge of the cup to tap it out

There never seems to be any edge on the M20's I've worked on Ron
