Steering bearing race removal

[iranana]

I'm about to try replacing the steering head bearings on my RD250 - both in the frame and on the steering head. Wondering if you guys have any tips or tools you can recommend to make the job easier?

Long punches and a big effin hammer. Use heavy grease when packing new balls into bearing races.

On any bearing outer race, a bead of weld around the inside make them shrink considerably after cooling down again.
