Yes, I got both old races out no problem, got both new ones in easy. They went in smoothly and I’m pretty sure they are both fully seated. but I also used both the new grease seals included with the all balls kit; one below the bottom race and one above the top race underneath the dust cap. Those two seals and the extra length of the new upper bearing add up to probably 1/4 inch of extra material, taking up just enough threads that I can’t get both those nuts on. I understand that one is to lock the other, but if there’s not enough room for both, doesn't having the upper tree “crown” tightened down kind of do the same thing? If there isn't room for the nut to spin off, there shouldn't really be a problem, right? I could have sworn I read about someone else Explaining this already and it being okay. I don’t see how I could possibly fit both nuts on the stem while utilizing the new grease seals AND have room for the crown to be screwed down
