Gold Wing steering bearing replacement Part 1: steering-head disassembly, stem removal, old bearings and races, and preparation.
I begin the steering bearing replacement on a Honda GL1800 Gold Wing by disassembling the steering head and removing the original bearings and races. I cover handlebar and top-bridge removal, steering stem access, bearing and race removal, and preparation for the replacement tapered roller bearings. I also include practical tips and tricks for protecting the controls, managing the wiring and hoses, and working without every factory special tool.
