cant get stock headset off

[kellbelly]

well for some reason my razor ultra pro headset wont come off so could u tell me wat to do about this

 

[risser]

the cups won't come out?

 

[Matt_Porter]

Go to a bike shop and have them do it for you it. It wil cost some money but it's worth it

 

[risser]

haha why would you pay to do it. if its the cups all you have to do it put a flathead screwdriver inside the headtube on the little ridge in between the headtube and cup. then take a hammer and hit the other side of the screwdriver hard. it should come out pretty easy with stock cups.

 

[DJ Lee]

yell at it

 

[brody01134]

its not hard just keep working at it, the hardest cups to get off are on the lucky headtube cuz there flush inside with the headtube

My MGP cups were the tightest things i have ever seen in my life lol.

Even the bike shop with the tools struggled, but we got it at the bike shop .

 

[kellbelly]

its not the cups its like the thing under the lock bolt like for some reason it wont unscrew

[Zach!]

put the fork legs under a piece of metal and get a wrnch and put some man power into it

 

[Jacek]

put the legs on a fence. then loosen

yea works but it bends forks too

 

[matr!]

Na it doesn't, I did that on a razor pro fork with a locknut tighter than... something really tight and it came off easy and didn't bend at all. I used a towball holder thing on the back of a car though....

 

[Ozmanick]

This is what i did. You weld the inside of the headset cup making it expand and then when it cools just hit it a few times with a hammer and a bit of metal it falls out. YOU CAN NOT USE THE HEADSET AGAIN AFTER THIS

Put it in between a crack in the door and turn the wrench as hard as u can worked for me
