sounds like you have a shit headset that you shouldn't be modifying, but replacing.
on the other hand, headsets basically don't matter as long as they're greased and tight enough.

i have a couple split pipes to knock them out and a piece of threaded rod with bolts/washers to press them in. It's easy to make these tools.

i've scrapped several allu frames with hairline cracks in the headtube and i've had several steel frames with play in the cups and dented mating surfaces. It's easy to damage that shit and then you're buying stupidly expensive meme tier threadlocker or shimming it with cans or hunting around for bullshit slightly oversized vintage standards.

The hammer is fine it's just a risk. And making a press tool costs like $20 or less, it's just a nice thing to use. Why would you not lol

Make a press with a piece of threaded rod, a couple nuts, and some washers. Very cheap.
Yes i've hit them in with a hammer but i've also gotten bikes with loose cups that have been damaged on installation with a hammer, and bikes with cracked headtubes. It's not worth it.

I like local lbs shops they're useful but,
>headset press
Why stop there? I made a headset press for a few bucks. Works good. There are expensive tools but that isn't one.

You can make a decent bearing press with a threaded rod, some nuts, and some washers. It just isn't as fast to use.
Absolutely 'carbon specific saw' is a meme. Any fine tooth hacksaw blade will be perfectly fine. Hose clamps for a guide is also fine.

I do think you want a torque wrench though. And some other inexpensive specialty tools. And a workstand.
