It's a Crank Brothers Cobalt... I have a proper Ice-toolz 'headset remover' thingo, but because the headtube is recessed a teeny bit for the headset cups, the flanges on the tool don't sit on the edge of the cup to knock it out (if that makes any sense to anyone)? So... it would seem my 'proper' tool is useless for this job and I now need to bodge it somehow, or am I missing something?

All suggestions welcomed ๐Ÿ™‚

maybe... but I don't have a long enough screwdriver! ๐Ÿ™

I don't understand why my proper tool won't do the job (well... I understand why it won't, but not the reason for it!)

will it engage in the headset at all? i.e. lips ridges etc (long shot)
