I just installed my Works 1.5° ZS with a 2x4 and a hammer, it did work even without deep freezing the headset. But I would not recommend it, many things can go wrong. But they don't tend to turn, at least :).
I was a bit sceptical about the effect, but coming from a 65 on my Capra it really worked well with the 1.5° for 63.5 now. Much better fast cornering.
My main hardtail has 64° from the start, and it always felt strange when changing from hardtail to Capra on the trails.
I still have another hardtail with a 70° ha from 2008 or so, with a wobbly 9mm Tower fork, sometimes it's really fun to ride.
