All you need is a big flat-head screwdriver and a hammer. A bit of gentle tapping and you're away.

indeed, just be gentle and itl pop off without damaging it.

or an old seat tube does the job nicely and spreads force more than the screwdriver...

if you're just servicing the current headset, why do you need to remove the entire thing anyway?

or are you replacing it?

as for tool, I always use a block of wood and hammer, less likely to damage the cups.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
