I am using the correct Park tool, CRS-1, which is a drift that you hit the top with to drift down the crown race. It's the proper tool.
It's the correct race for the steerer, extremely tight fit. It was greased.
I'm wonder if I can support the fork by bracing it by the underside of the fork crown, resting it on a padded structure that would be the same shape - curve - of the fork crown. By supporting it only by holding it, no matter how firmly, isn't very effective. Too much energy is absorbed by my hand rather than going to the crown race.
