headset removal from aos v2

its integrated. the bearings should fall out easily. make sure you take off the top cap and everything, and take the deck off the forks. if you need to, get a flathead screwdriver and gently pry the bearing out of the cup.
this is why grease is a good thing.

Get a tube and lightly tap it out evenly in a circular rotation.

Or use your pointer and middle finger on each hand and pull up

Edit: don't pry it out or hit it with too much force, it will break the headset.

I usually just take a flat head screw driver and from the opposite side of the one you want to take out, put it through so its resting on the top of the bearing, then lightly tap it with a hammer.

dont put too much force and dont put all the force in one place, my bearing wouldnt come out so i pried it out with a screwdriver and it broke

thats why only these kinds of bearings should be used, bmx only use these because of this sort of reason.

rather than these which dont have that extra bit of metal to aid in getting them out
