help with fork install on Chris King headset

Please disregard my previous question. I figured it out
and I was making a mistake. I was confusing the o-ring
with the little seal that goes between the top cap and the
last spacer.

All better now.

Hi,

I've got a CK headset already pressed in to my frame and
now I'm just installing the fork. I have a question about
the infamous o-ring. Does it need to fit around the lip
of the bearing cap or simply sit flush against it? I've
tried to 'seat' the o-ring in the bearing cap, but it's a
very tight fit and I'm afraid I'll tear it. Plus, I'm not
even sure it needs to be seated that way. If I simply
slide the o-ring and the then the bearing cap over the
fork steerer, I'm having a hard time getting the bearing
cap pressed down far enough. Obviously, the o-ring is
making that fit tight. As is, there's about a 1-2 mm
(noticeable) gap between the bearing cap and the top
bearing cup. Too much :p.

How can I press this bearing cap down more to get a
nice fit?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex
