  1. could someone advise to the proper method of removing headset cups? I thought I read before that you
    take them upwards on the bottom of the lip with a screw driver and hammer. TIA

    I don't know about "proper" but the most effective method I know involves hitting around the cup
    with a hammer for a bit, then use a punch or old screwdriver to work them from the inside by hitting
    the inner edge of the lip from the other side.

    The correct way is to use the correct tool, e.g. parktool.comRT 1.shtml

    The screwdriver and hammer method will work, but at the risk of damaging the frame.
