Yes we are. And you aren't much shorter than him, so shut your trap or i'll stab you in your toe

Keep the bearing race puller IN LINE WITH THE STEM NECK! If you're not careful and overly enthusiastic (especially with a slide hammer type puller), you'll wind up 'egging' the neck out or jamming the race into the sides of the steering neck.

If you're going to 'tap' them out from the opposite side, small taps in a circular pattern, over and over again work best to avoid the aforementioned pitfalls. Usually if you get one out, the use of a socket of appropriately close tolerances can act as a driver to remove the other one without the tap-around-in-circles routine.

As always, YMMV...

already need a special tool, I need a 14mm hex bit to get the cap off the top of the triple. Figured its easier just to hit sears vs rigging something up with a few nuts and bolts.
