  • To remove headset bearing cups, get a suitable length of tube, not too large in diameter and work round the cup from the inside hitting it opposites with a hammer until the cups drop out.

    As for the crownrace, as mentioned a screwdriver should suffice if you have no suitable punch to hand. If its a carbon fork with no place to get under the race (which really fucks me off, why do manufacturers do that!!) Then at worst remove a stanley blade from a knife and gently knock that between the race and fork seat until you have enough room to get a larger object between the two.

    Thanks for the tips. I was able to get the crown race and headset cups removed. I dropped the frame off at Armourtex on Wednesday, and hope to get it back today or Monday. Now I have to figure out how to install my new crown race without the punch tool or whatever it's called!
