Steering head bearing driver

[Drunkn Munky]

What are people using to drive the lower steering head bearing onto the yoke? looking for a cheap alternative after misplacing my sealey driver

[porndoguk]

slid it on as far as it will go, turn the yoke upside down and using the jaws of the vice loosely tap the bottom of the yoke/clamps with a mallet, or copper hammer and it will go down, turn it 3 - 9 o'clock 12-6 o'clock between taps,

in additions it helps to put the yoke and clamp in the freezer, and warm the bearing race also, dont forget a smidge of grease

I slide them on as far as possible. Then put the stem back into the headstock and tap the bottom yoke upwards with a nylon hammer

I use the old bearing race inverted on the stem as a drift.

Just like this and with a BIG socket to hit against it too.

I used a length of that blue PVC water pipe from the builders' merchant. Worked a treat.
