Not done the Job on a Fazer but have on other bikes.
Either it goes smoothly or turns into a pig.
Just a few thoughts.
1st apply plenty of wd40 on offending item then walk away, roll a fag, make a brew or whatever.
I'm thinking freezer spray on the bearing race might be potentially less destructive than blowlamp on the headstock? blowlamps being quite good for removing paint.
As to a tool for drifting- screwdrivers tend to slip, a set of metal punches should be fairly cheap off the market or wherever.
The one i found most usefull in the set for this job was a thin round flat ended one- say 3mm ish diameter at tip.
Next grow an extra hand as the trick is to hold hammer,& punch whilst applying outwards sideways pressure to the punch so it doesn't slip.
Some sharp blows spaced round the circumference of the race should hopefully get things moving.
Once you can see its moved a mm or two the rest of the journey is relatively plain sailing.
Good Luck!
