Motion Pro Steering Stem Bearing Tool for Harley-Davidson — 08-0558 Black Oxide, Compact & Durable

The Motion Pro (08-0558) Steering Stem Bearing Tool is a compact, black-oxide driver set that safely removes and installs tapered roller steering stem bearings on most Harley-Davidson motorcycles without harming the stem or new bearing.

If you're servicing the front end of a Harley with a tapered roller bearing at the base of the steering stem, this precision tool streamlines removal and installation inside the tight confines of the lower triple clamp. Built to work within steering stops and finished in durable black oxide with a laser-etched Motion Pro logo, the tool helps avoid hammering on shafts or risk of scoring the steering stem when changing bearings.

How does this tool remove a worn tapered steering stem bearing?

Removal requires separating the outer sheet-metal cage from the tapered roller bearing unit, then using the tool to extract the remaining inner race without contacting the stem. The design concentrates force on the bearing components so the steering stem stays unmarked.

• Fits within lower triple clamp steering stops for in-place extraction
• Applies targeted pull to bearing elements, minimizing stem contact
• Durable construction to withstand workshop leverage and repeat use

Will this install a new bearing without damaging it or the steering stem?

The included bearing driver adapter lets you press a replacement tapered roller bearing onto the stem squarely and cleanly. It supports even force distribution around the bearing seat so the race seats properly without deformation.

• Adapter interfaces with the bearing face to avoid contacting rollers or the stem
• Promotes straight, controlled seating of the new bearing race
• Reduces risk of uneven pressure that can cause early bearing failure

Which Harley-Davidson models will this tool work with?

The tool is engineered for most Harley-Davidson motorcycles that use a tapered roller bearing at the base of the steering stem. Its compact profile is specifically intended to operate within the steering geometry common to many Harley triple-clamp setups.

• Designed for Harley models with tapered roller stem bearings
• Compact size fits into lower triple clamp steering-stop clearances
• Check model-specific service manual for bearing type and removal steps

What should I expect when using the Motion Pro driver in the shop?

Expect a straightforward process once the outer cage is removed: set the tool into place, extract the inner race or press on the replacement with the adapter, and verify smooth steering bearing preload. The black oxide finish resists corrosion from shop fluids and the laser engraved logo makes identification simple in a crowded toolbox.

• Compact, service-friendly shape makes multi-step jobs faster
• Black oxide finish helps resist rust in workshop conditions
• Laser-etched marking for quick tool recognition

Who this tool is for: garage technicians, home mechanics and restoration enthusiasts who maintain Harley-Davidson front ends and need a dependable, purpose-built solution for removing and installing tapered roller steering stem bearings. If you value protecting steering stems from nicks and ensuring new bearings seat correctly, this Motion Pro tool is a practical addition to your motorcycle service kit.
