Well, installed a new WTB Momentum headset. The old Race Face bearings are shot and need to find replacements.
So checked out the Blue Collar MTB site,

And found this do it yourself headset tool,

It took a bit of work to get it to work. Had to get out the round file and remove a small amount of paint from inside the head tube. One thing I discovered is that you need about 7 washers aside to limit bending of the washers. I say this as depending on how the headset fits it may be a bit tight.
