Just make sure however you do it that you do not misalign the bearing race in the frame.

Either. I did it with a hammer and a punch, but there is also a special tool available that I have seen before that looks like a flared out pipe that has been notched. You push it up through the race until it snaps in place on the inside and then you drive it out with a hammer
Actually I saw one of these for sale in a HD oriented magazine but was unsure if they were worth the money...I might have to get one (since I have three bikes that will eventually have the steering stem bearing replaced).

when i did mine, it ended well with only minor bleeding and lots of beating!
my thumb still hurts. The welding idea doesn't sound too far fetched. I may try it on my throw away frame (old honda) just to see.
