ghetto headset installation

i decided to go diy for pressing in a new headset, since 2 lbs's flaked out on me. i built a ghetto press out of a bolt, some metal & rubber washers and a bolt, that cost the grand sum of $6. knocking out the existing cups took about 30 seconds using a metal pipe i had laying around and a hammer. pressing in the headset was easy - getting the washer and bolt aligned straight took a little doing and then the cups slid in easily. the crown race knocked on easily as well, using the rubberized handle of a screwdriver. the installation was easier than I expected - ghettopress gets 2 thumbs up.
