I did mine myself using a section of cr-mo 31.8mm MTB frame.The way i did mine was to cut the steering tube as close to the lugs (removing a center section) as possible allowing enough room to drill a hole and put a screw driver through to turn the tube while heating. Add heat,twist with an upward or downward motion to separate tube from the lug
