If you can't loosen the headset enough this way, loosen the adapter a bit, then use the locknut to jack it up a hair.

Done this way, it should all hold together fine until you find a new fork.

BTW- this won't in any way be dangerous, the worst thing that will happen is that the headset loosens, and it's a PIA to adjust it this way.

Thanks a lot FBinNY. I'll do it that way then!

Cheers!
