This works with most headsets but Chris King is very specific that their cups must be pressed in from the edges of the cups as the bearing cartridges cannot be removed and you must not press on them. I'd use BIG washers for these.

I've usually pressed in all makes of cups from the edges using the big washers mentioned above but use a thick leather disk under them to protect and pad the edges.
