Boothy Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Is it hard to do? Can you do it yourself? Can someone please tell me how? Cheers Boothy (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbr-chris Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Fitting headsets is easy, just get a peice of wood bigger than the headset cups to protect the cups and knock them in using a hammer. Dont just twat it though take your time and keep checking its going in straight not at an angle. Removing them is a bit harder. Theres a flange type thing on the inside of the cup. Sometimes your topcap will drop in and sit against the flange but you have to take one cup out 1st. Get a flat headed screwdriver and again CAREFULLY seat the screwdrive against the flange and tap it, going all the way around the cup not just in one place. Once one cup is out you can see if your topcap will fit in. If it does, i used a socket set extension thing to sit on to the topcap and hit that but anything that reaches through the headtube will do. If your topcap doesn't fit use a screwdrive again. There is a tool for removing hedset cups but the one we have at work is crap so we just knock them out carefully anyway. Make sure you remove the old steerer race and fit your new one when you fit a new headset aswell (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
