How about borrowing a buddy's random orbital sander, preferably with a vacuum attachment? If you use 100 or 80 grit it will go quite quickly, and the vacuum will suck the nasty dust away while...

When I put the cap on, thread the bolt into the plug and start wrenching, I can hear the darn plug inside the steerer sliding up. It has enough friction not to fall out and enough to make a carbon...
