My front end is off, and im replacing the headset bearings. Anyone have any good ideas to take off the lower bearing race from the stem? I am having no luck. Also, since its apart i am changing the fork oil. Any suggestions as to what oil and amount to use. I have the manual but maybe there is a modern replacement thats better.....

Hmmm...why does one fork have way more rebound damping than the other?

I use the proper tool to remove the lower bearing off the stem available at ANY automotive parts place. Also, before buying that tool, I used my die grinder and a cut off wheel to carefully cut slots in the race then whack it with a hammer and off it comes. Be careful not to cut into the steering stem obviously.
