You need to instal a crown race onto the fork steerer.
I used a massive metal pipe, that I found at work, which had the correct inner diameter. You need to be able to hammer on the crown race without damaging the part the bearings will run on.
If you are using a lot of force it is a good idea to add support under the fork crown in the form of a piece of wood (not just resting the legs on the floor).
Stressful but not difficult
