Doug: Shops have tools specific to the job. I do nearly all my own work but have the shop change out the headset. I just take things apart down to removing the fork. I made an appt for a day when they expected to be slow, walked in & they R&R the headset while I waited & watched. All they had to do was pop the old bits out of the frame & press in the new ones. IIRC they charged me about $30, far less than the cost of my buying tools I would only use every few years.
