Answer
The bearings in a harley are timkin tapered roller bearings with races. The front end has to be removed and the races pulled out and replaced. Then the bearings are installed.
the problem is I dont know what kind of bearings you have. You might not have tapper bearings. You might have sealed bearings that have to be pressed in.
