Good idea.

Could'nt confirm that one, it wasn't particularly difficult. 
And I am not known for being a good mechanic, but I've done it
twice.

Well, not really. Besides getting the inner ring off the steering shaft,
perhaps.
Removing that ring can be a pain in the ass, best is to cut away material
(with 
a "Winkelschleifer"/Flex) until it gets a crack and gets loose. Then you
can work 
it off with a large screwdriver. You may have to get some help here...

I have used Hein Gericke Parts and have been satisfied with them for almost
80Mm
on two RD04s with them
