1. Use a 30.00mm spanner to loosen
the Steering Head Retaining Nut.

2. Once loosened, use the fingers to
undo completely.

3. Note that there is a shoulder at the
top of the nut.

4. The larger Bearing Retaining Nut should
undo using hand pressure, but mole grips
can be used if this is tight.

5. Use a pair of thin-nosed pliers to
remove the top bearings.

6. As the Steering Head is lowered,
the bottom bearings can be seen.
Note also the position of the Steering
Stop Bolt
