+ 1 Bigger the better. Big old socket for setting it back in. Take your time. It will pay off.

Time spent is dependent on bike stand. Great time to swap fluids in your forks. Better get a half rack.

About to replace mine for second, maybe third, time but it's one of the jobs I prefer others, who know what they're doing and have done it before, to do - one hour max in that case.

well i ordered the bearing/races (... throttle cables, and Voltage regulator) but i think im gonna hold off till i get a set of seals, ill do the forks/fluids and the bearings at the same time.
man its expensive, the seal kit and fluid alone cost about $300.00
