I did mine on an 01 Road Glide with a 12 ton press I bought from summit or Jegs for that price if I remember right and now I have a tool that serves more than 1 purpose.

I did too, my 07 is going through them every 25k. 10k isn't enough to say if it is any good.

Something wrong with the design of 6 speed or the new bearings. My 01 doesn't have these issues. I changed out automatic tensioner to a Hayden?? at 25k, but that didn't fix the problem. Hopefully the baker one piece does.


IMO if you have the inner primary off, you should think replacing bearings as good maintenance practice.

If you got one near you like, $20 is an incredible price. Some people live in areas with lots of them some don't We got lots of dealers around here, but not lots indies.

You could go super cheap and use a couple big sockets and some threaded rod , washers and nuts. I used I little shop press to do mine but I made a wheel bearing tool using a couple pieces of pipe, threaded rod, nuts and washers. Lots of options. Heartland sells a cheaper version of the tool as well.

I just did my 2000 tc88 inners with the Harbor Freight bearing puller kit with the slide hammer
the kit has 4 different size arbors for different size bearings..it worked great! $72.00 for the kit...i put the bearings in the freezer for a couple of hours and they tapped right in with a socket.
i did the outer bearings in the cam plate by pressing them out with my vise...i heated the plate a little with a propane torch...they pressed right out...also did the freezer method for the bearings AND the cam ...worked friggin awesome!!!
i dont know if your year bike has the same setup as mine... but it worked for me!

i ordered the Heartland one originally..they said it was for my year motor...but when i got it the arbor was to big for my bearings..and the plate didnt line up with all 4 screws ,just the top 2 lined up...the bottom 2 looked like they were drilled wrong...off to an angle..wasnt impressed at all..sent it back...then had to scramble for a puller..thats when i found the harbor freight one

+1 on the HF press....that’s what I used to replace mine with the Baker bearing that does away with the race.

That is how I do it. With some uni strut to spread weight across when I need to. Though last time I found this big hunk of metal lying around and saved that. Sharpied socket sizes on it.

Another option is the "Primary Bearing Remover & Installer" from Georges Garage.

https://www.georges-garage.com/produ...ver-installer/

I have this tool and I've used it on both my 1993 & 2011. On a late model bike, you'll need to also use a socket (I used a 1-3/16" impact socket) to remove the bearing since the kit doesn't contain the late model pilots like the Jims #729 kit does. Once you see the kit, you'll figure out how to make it work.
