Sure did. I had it pressed out by a shop then pressed it back in when I got the yoke back. While your in there you might as well upgrade the bearings to the All Balls tapered. They come with a new dust cover. P.S. dont forget to mark the bottom of the yoke with a scribe or something so you can align the yoke and stem again. Not important unless you use your fork lock.

I polished my forks a long time ago and my yoke is the rough '02 casting. Quote: Quote: I think Zmilin dealt with this when he chromed his front end. You might want to PM him if he doesn't chime in.

I think polising one of those might drive a man to powdercoat . A scene from a movie, guys getting a pedicure and the lady pulls out the grinder, sparks fly...thats how I picture polishing that older lower yoke.

I need to remind myself to do this crap in the winter!

That chrome one in the classifieds is starting to sound good! Quote: Dood...Ive seen those old nasty cast ones. They are scarry. I think polising one of those might drive a man to powdercoat .
