It goes like this:

Loosen crown bolts; loosen stem bolts; remove top-cap completely.

The stem can now slid off, followed by the crown. If your stem is an integrated type (bolted to the crown) then obvioulsy they'll come off together.

You can then fit the bumpers and refit the crown/stem. You will, of course, also now have to preload the headset bearings again. Do you know how to do this?

Hmm no i dont know how to do this..... i just tightened everything back the way it came off. Does the topcap bolt have anything to do with preloading the headset bearings?
