Headset Help

[Iwasgoodonce]

Does anyone have the instructions for a DX or XT threaded headset anywhere? The frame cups are in but I need a little guidance as to which order the rest goes in. There are some very skinny looking seals that I don't want to get wrong.

Thanks!

The headset will feel c**p if they are the wrong way round

The easiest way i used to remember was to look at the seal close-up. The "finished" looking side always faces to the outside of the head tube

I have a "build up" XT headset, maybe I can make a photo and show places.

Headset Service Instruction

I have the original service instruction literature for Deore XT HP-M730 and Deore HP-MT60. If this is yours let me know and I could pdf it and send it along if that would help.

here are the exploded views of the m735 and the m730. the plastic seals have a grove that fits into the bearing race,that's all you need to get right.

cheers, carsten

Thanks everyone. It was where those spindly little seals went that was throwing me. Thanks for the scan Carsten.
