    Hi All,

    Does anyone know how you take the bottom yokes off the stem on my 1983 WR430???. I've taken the circlip and washer off the bottom but it just wont have it?? I've tried unscrewing, hammering and with heat but it just wont budge.

    I'm sure someone must have a tip or secret:)......... Thanks

    they are pressed together, and will come apart easily if a press if used. anything else will likely bitch things up

    I have painted them with the stem in and have not had to remove it to replace the bottom bearing. Some careful cutting with an exhaust cutoff wheel and a short burst with an air chisel took the rusted bearing of in less time than the prep work and walking over to the press to press the stem out.
