Cheers for ya help!
I had a nightmare at the weekend trying to fit a bottom bracket, managed to get one cup in no problem using a bit of wood and a hammer but the second cup was a right pig! so took it to my local bike shop who too struggled but eventually managed to do it. I couldnt bare to watch!

Hopefully this headset will be a bit easier!

pickle:
Some are really tight!  me and my mate couldn't get my one in on my MCS.....It was a right PIG!!   >:(

Had to take it to his garage and use his press in the end.........even that struggled!!!  but it's in now and not moving!!

Just give it a go and if it won't go in, take it to the shop mate  :daumenhoch:

stidds:
I agree with Kev, get some threaded bar and some big washers and a couple of nuts and do it that way.  Much safer that the hammer and piece of wood, although not as much fun.

brettnai:
Cool cheers mate!

talking of Parkes tools, £17 for a flat 30mm spanner for the BB !!!
tools costing me more than the bike so far!
