Rebuilding the tree...

[Mad Dog]

It's time to rebuild the tree, I'm getting a clunk when stopping. I can feel it getting sloppy.

Is there a kit to buy that has all the bearings etc for the triple tree, or do I need to get everything separately?

 

Anything else I should know?

 

TIA

All Balls probably has a bearing kit. Even if they don't, I'd recommend their parts.

As I recall, getting the lower race out of a RSV is really difficult. They left little to nothing exposed to drive it out with.

 

There are a couple routes you can take. You can grind away a spot on the race with a die grinder so it becomes loose. You can also lay a healthy bead of weld in the race. There is a good chance when the weld cools the race will just fall out. If not the bead gives you something to tackle with a punch.

I went this route with a dremel tool, notch the lower race slowly until you can "crack" it with a punch. I was trying not to grind into the machined head.

X2, I used the All Balls kit on my 1st gen, pretty happy with it. With the right drifts and strategic profanity it really isnt bad. Be grateful your not doing a gen1 haha.
