and you don't think I tried that already....
the problem is there is nothing to hit - it is right up in the underside of the tube - can't get hold of it or put anything behind it |

if it's a sealed bearing one, leave it where it is and get a new headset the same as the old one. _________________ Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. |

Some local heat? Al alloy should expand more than the steel insert. It'll probably damage the paint though. |
