Then put everything up top back together
Front wheel and brake calipers back on
Tada! Good as new
Old bearings and races really didn't look bad at all for being original with 166,000 miles, but still they had a notchy detent previously
Surprisingly still turned very smoothly in the races by hand! I was expecting them to be all tore up
Sorry I couldn't do a more detailed write up.... was kinda in a hurry trying to get done before dark. Took the bike for a ride and it feels great!! Steering is super smooth with no notchiness anymore, and the bars are straight as an arrow going down the road. I'm happy now... that detent in the steering at low speeds was really getting annoying!
