Step 4Grease the cups
Grease the cups and line them up in the head tube.
I refused to buy the Park Tools $170 headset press. Don't get me wrong, it is very nice and I have used it quite a bit. But for $5 at McGuckins Hardware I made one. Just buy some long bolts, nut and a few washers. Get 8 washers, this will allow you a lot of flexibility when it comes to tightening down the cups.

This is such a good idea it's not even funny. Even if overtightening is a risk, this is such a great work-around for us home mechanics.
