In case you can't tell, the race is upside down.
So, attention first-timers - - don't follow the parts diagram for the install. I waited two weeks and forgot the order, and depended on the bikebandit.com exploded view. Now, another chunk of cash and another week for the dealership to order a new one.
For those who don't know: The beveled edge on the upper bearing race is supposed to face up towards you. I.E. small edge up, wide edge down.
What a great day this has been.
Anyone willing to donate a new bearing race to me?
just tap the race out again ? if you use a SOFT drift and work your way around 360 degrees, it won't be damaged. :)
Nope. No way to get a drift on it. Thanks though.
3 hours and a dremel.

really ? wow. i haven't had my FE off of the gs, so I could only assume the bottom bearing and race were easily removed, then the top bearing race tapped out.
easily, being, with a heavy hammer and a nice brass drift mind you ;)
3 hours and a dremel means at least you took your time and didn't damage the frame. good show man :)
