The steering shaft needs to be disconnected for the bearing replacement and if you do not stabilize the steering wheel when you do this, the steering wheel will free wheel and damage the SAS. If you have not done that bearing before, it will be easier if you remove the seat and lay under there to gain access. The reach in to do that work is a PITA when reaching under there. May want to do a new brake light switch while under there. If you have not done already, the roller bearings in the end of the new bearing collar, will pop out and you will see minimal grease. The bearing cage easily pops out and can smear more silicone grease on that and pop back in. Again, if have not done before, I recommend watching several you tube videos of the process. I mean it when I say, PITA until you have done a few. While in there, check your brake pedal pivot bushing for replacement. I have a thread here about that.</p></blockquote><p></p>
