Just getting ready to tackle this job fellas…any sage advice?

I wish I’d have taken the extra step and gotten done back when I rebuilt my forks!
One quick question, the manual suggests you remove the fairing…I don’t see the need. Please correct me if I’m wrong

I did my 83 last year. No, I did not take fairing off.  One trick that helped me get the lower race out, was a long sharp punch, and I used a Dremel to make a notch in the race so I had something to snag tapping it out.

This was the punch that did the trick for me.

there is enough room to do the job without taking the fairing apart. If you already did your forks then you will know what I am saying unless you pulled the fairing apart to do the forks which I highly doubt the only thing yo may have to remove is that lower center piece of plastic under the headlight.
