^ I agree it's probably the safest, but in addition to lathe/press access there's also the issue of relative value of the frame and forks.
In this particular case the frame is approximately worthless, if I don't use it as a jump bike It'll go to the tip...
Hence I'm more inclined to trash the frame rather than risk ending up with a slightly undersized steerer slopping about inside a slightly opened up hole in an expensive fork crown....
