Does anyone have a head set removal equipment I can borrow to reinstall a missed component I should have put on in the first place? I'm in Sydney and I got a street bike in build and I'm just scared of using a chisel on my new frame.

If you can't find someone with a headset removal tool, an old seat post or handle bar with slots cut in it works well.

Yeah as mentioned above, cut a slot like 7cm deep in a seatpost in a cross shape, fare it out and clean up with a file a little, push it through, then hammer that shit.

I use a wooden dowel (25mm if I recall, doesn't really matter) and hammer. Slowly work ur way round. Doesn't mark the cups at all. Had a mechanic once take a chunk out of my very expensive cup using a Park Tool cup removing tool....... Then charged me for it......Happy days :):)
