David Marshall Posted November 19, 2013 Share It's removable. Ideally you would use a blind puller with a slide hammer but you should be able to get it out with a hammer and a longish punch. Have someone hold the frame steady and insert the punch from the top - making sure that the punch is on the bearing and not the headset cap. Strike on opposite sides of the bearing. If it is a Specialized mindset headset you need to remove the cap and bearing as one. If you are near me (Fourways) I can give you a hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
