Just wondering if anyone has any tips for the installation of the All Balls tapered roller bearings in a H2? Looks like removing the tapered roller bearing outer race from the head stock after installation would be a challenge. Hoping I never have to tackle that but has anyone ever ground notches in the inner diameter of the head stock to allow a punch to catch the outer race? Or would that weaken the head stock? Any comments or general advice would be appreciated. I've watched a half dozen YouTube vids on the subject.

I replaced mine with no problem. I used a long drift to tap the race out from the opposite end, both upper and lower races. IIRC there are a couple of small indentations on both sides allowing the drift to rest on the back side of the races.

Same here, I used a large rubber washer for the headlight ear slack.
