Subject: Re: front bearing removal


If it is as you said. It is good to know... When I did the front bearing on my 89 900S (RIP), I'd wouldn't say it was very difficult. But it was certainly not a piece of cake. It involved removing the swivel and send it to the machine shop so they press the old bearing out and the new bearing in. I've not, fortunately, had to replace it on the 94 9kcs.
