I agree that the whole stem overhaul thing is suspicious. If I went into any of my local shops they would instantly say "oh you just need to re-grease and tighten" and most likely lend me an allen key to do so.
but since when has installing a headset been easy to do on your own without spending 150 dollars on a headset press?
