It's easy, sometimes. Getting the old bottom race off can be a bit of a git. I used to hammer an old chisel in as a wedge to move it slightly, then use tyre levers to remove it totally. Last time I just cut it with a dremel, much easier.

Get a decent drift to remove the old races from the headstock. Put the new races in the freezer for a little while before fitting them.

I use an old steel tube to tap the new bottom race on, don't forget to put the seal on first!!!

I made my own socket up so I can use a torque wrench to set up the new bearings first time rather than sodding about.
