1. Take a corresponding fork crown-race, and adjust the direction, put the front fork with the inclined surface facing up and the flat surface down, as shown in picture 1.
2. Take a downshift tool base and put it on the front fork with downshifting, as shown in Figure 2
3. Put in the sleeve and hit the tool base hard until the crown race is in place

2. Fork Sun flower (Star-nut) Part
Choose the corresponding expansion flower and sun flower according to the corresponding front fork
1. In the case of carbon fiber front forks, the expansion screw is generally used, loosen the expansion screw until it can be put into the front fork riser, as shown in picture 1; then use a 6mm wrench to tighten the screw, as shown in picture 2.

2. Take a sun flower corresponding to the riser and screw it into the thread of the tool, as shown in picture 3.
3. Put the tool into the steerer tube, pay attention to vertical, as shown in picture 4.

4. Hit the top of the tool with a hammer until the sun flower sinks to about 15mm from the steerer tube, as shown in pictures 5 and picture 6.
3. Head tube part
1. To load the upper and lower bowls, you need to use a bowling tool,

first, put the upper bowl into the headset tool, pay attention to the direction of the bowl, and then insert the upper bowl into the head tube of the frame, as shown in picture 2, picture 3, and picture 4.

2. When inserting the lower bowl, please pay attention that the mouth of the lower bowl is downward, and insert the lower bearing of the assembly tool into the spindle screw of the tool and clamp the stopper at the same time, as shown in the picture 5 and picture 6.

3. Rotate the handle clockwise and observe whether the upper and lower bowls are flat. Since the pressure required to press the bowl is relatively large, it is best to have two people operate at the same time. One person uses an open-end wrench or an 8mm diameter iron rod to fix the wrench position under the spindle, and one hand Rotate the handle vigorously until the upper and lower bowls are pressed in place and flattened as shown in Picture 7.
