Despite your "undeniability", Zog, I deny your authority on this
issue.
Anyone with a little patience, moderate mechanical aptitude, a little
creativity and motivation can do this correctly with a minimum of
expense. Do a google search on "install headset". As long as there
was a headset there already and the head tube was properly prepped the
first time, the install is a matter of press fitting the cups. The
rest is gravy.
If the Zogmeister has put you off doing this with his alarmist advice,
then you really shouldn't install it yourself. However, if you were
annoyed by his assertion that you are incapable of performing this
relatively simple task, then have at it!
You really should have the crown race installed professionally though
;-)
