I found this write-up while searching on the net.
Looks really good from what I can see. I have never done this but I am sure I will at some point.

One thing I do not agree with in that write up is putting grease between the bearing and the main cap. With the few thousandths of an inch clearence, you asking for trouble. I would just place it in the cap and bolt it up. It's not like you are going to hold the cap upside down.

If you don't fight for the trails, there won't be any trails to fight for.

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.
Zig Ziglar

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." ....

John Stuart Mill
