I've taken my headset apart and like a fool forgot what order to put everything back. The cups and bearings are still in. Can anyone help from this pic.

I found these instructions at bottom of post, so would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what all these circles are??

I believe 3rd one in top line in my pic above is the "COVE"
The 2nd one in on the top line is the "CONE"
4th one in on the bottom is "top cap"

Reminds me of the Forks I bought, previous owner couldn't eliminate the paly in his headset............

Yes I returned it.

possibly,The old Manitou SX fork had a part on it that I couldn't get off. It looked like it was part of the fork. I guess I need to try harder

Hammer and screwdrived - simples

If you've now lost it you'll need a whole new headset.

Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways. The missing piece was the crown race!! I didn't realise it took a hammer and a driver to release it

And something similar to fit it.

Try reading parktools someday.
