Headset cup removal

(1/3) > >>

Morning all

How do I go about removing headset cups from a frame? In a way that is sympathetic to the frame.............

Do I need any special tools?

Many thanks

I usually use a drift and smack them out.

pickle:
i normally use a socket set extension bar and a hammer.........a couple of taps and they ping out  :daumenhoch:


it's getting the fookers back in thats the tough part!

toys19:
The socket set extension bar is a good idea, do you use the wide end against the cup? My drift is an old valve rod from a motorcycle engine, its hardened and has a flared cup on the end that catches the edge of the cup nicely.

kuwahero:
However, if you want to do it properly then get yourself one of these
