Head tube is a little chewed/tight

Swivel:
Its not totally fooked but enough to prevent me from wacking in the headset and trust me i've tried. Its perhaps squished in only a few mm or so...   :(

Whereabouts are you, I have a headset race press like the one the Fruitster describes with staggered presses to fit different sized races, might help  ;).  I'm in Iver Heath, Bucks.

Swivel:
Marty thanks mate but i'm in Epping Essex, blinking miles away  :(

pickle:
try your local bike shop swivel, they'll have one and shouldn't really charge you to do it

but for fooks sake not Halfrauds as they'll just take a chissel to it!   :shocked:

stfc:
had the same before mate , if its not too bad get a pair of pump pliers , put a rag in the tube,  push the pump pliers in and open them up against your frame tube (gently ) in a levering action basically pulling the pliers apart and bobs your uncle.. job done, dont over do it or you,ll need a oval headset :D
