+===== Bearing Lockring  =====
+==== Removal ====
+**Caution**: Use eye protection as the lockring may pop out on you. \\
+**There is no reason to replace this ring unless it's damaged or rusted to the point it will hinder proper bearing race installation**. \\
+The races butt up against this ring on both sides and that determines distance apart from each other thus how far the inner bearing race sticks out the end. \\
+So the races have to be installed correctly. \\
+The ring can be used for both internal and external applications. However, the tool for these rings only works on external applications. \\
+It pushes each end outward to expand the ring to remove it from shafts and the like. \\
+There are no known pliers to compress the ring due to it having no holes or slots for pliers. \\
+So it will need to be pried out with screwdrivers in a circle pattern to get the ring out of the groove in the pivot. \\
+Once the ring is completely out of the groove, you can push it out of the pivot with a socket sized smaller than the pivot and near the same size as the ring. \\
+Or it may just pop out on it's own. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\

+==== Installation ====
+The ring needs to be installed with a tapered sleeve so you can set it in one side and knock it into the bore while the sleeve taper narrows the ID of the ring. \\
+But without having that tool, a socket was bolted up into the bearing bore sitting on top of the open end of the ring to keep it from popping out. \\
+Then the other side of the ring was carefully knocked into the bore with a wooden dowel and a hammer. \\
+Once the ring was fully in the bore, the socket was used to push the ring down so it snapped into the groove. ((photos by Hippysmack)) \\
