Finally got the last component of my winter holiday upgrade for my commuter... problem is the lower headset cup is stuck.

Now I sprayed a bunch of T9 outside and inside the cup and frame, hit it a couple times, still won't even budge.

What other things can I try to dislodge this?

Also, from my understanding, I can reused my old lower cup and my new top cup right? (i'm going from threaded to threadless) since my patience is not infinite.

and one more thing, do you guys grease your fork steerers? :confused:
