lol it's supposed to get stuck in your headtube lol. Just use a headset press. If you use a hammer it won't be even and it will spin about as fast as a superglued stock headset..


edit: ps. if anybody wants to make their stock headset faster, take out the cups and RE-install them using a proper headset press and then use the whip guide to clean it n stuff.

you could use a real long bolt that fits all the way throught the headtube. then some washers so you can tighten down on the cup. then just tighten the bolt pressing the cup in.
the hard part is making sure it is straight.
 
Just eblting it in will make it go in un even but it you semi-gently tap all around the cup for a while it will eventualy go in or just use a home made headset press.
 
push it in a little and put a plank of wood (or somthing solid) and hammer the wood and the headset will go in easy an quick or if u have one of them vices that close onto each other, put the headset in a bit and put it in there and tighten it till there in

This is how to do it, google homemade headset press. You just get a fat long bolt from a hardware store and washers bigger than the headset. Put the top cup in, put the bolt through with a washer ontop, than one on the bottom below the headtube, put on the nut and tighten it like hell. Repeat for bottom cup...
