i finally took a look at them and ofcourse no instructions how to install them, obviously the races get pressed into the steering stem, but how about the 2 washers with the rubber on them? and how about the solid metal washer? anyone used these yet.

I would say the rubberized washers are seals 1 on top 1 on the bottom rubber side out. The solid washer probably goes under the nut on the steering stem.

i have used them before and dcreel is right. the tapered berings are definitly worththier weight in gold.

Yep. I have those in my 350X... Assemble them as dcreel describes and pack them with bearing grease before you assemble!
