Hi,
I am preparing to service teh front end of my bike. I intend to:
a. replace the tyre,
b. service spongy brakes,
c. service callipers (spongy brakes)
d. fork seals and
e. front bearings (not needed but..)
If i do the bearings ... is there anything tricky about removing and pressing the new ones in. I am contemplating the need for the blow torch to heat up the aluminum components before the bearings are pressed in etc.
Do i have to worry about this or should I just do it.
