The thread on stands & fixed cups leads me to something I've been pondering. How difficult/dangerous/economical is it for me to replace headsets? I'd need to buy the crown race remover, the fixed cup remover, the crown race setter, and the head race press (only for 1" headsets). New, it's about $220 for all four tools (looking for used), but I could replace about 4 right away, and would have the tools available for other future replacements. Is there anything I'm overlooking?
