kusam:
Need to get bars back but the bolts on the stem are TIGHT and are not budging.  Any ideas?

ORB:
What stem is it?

kusam:
 ???

err..according to advert it's a Haro 90 degree......but the link sends you to the spec for the newer model 540.  I think this is 2004 model

ORB:
get a 6mm alen key put it into the alan nut, take a bit of tube (an old seat tube is the nuts for this) and slot it over the long part of the alan key.

This will give you a better lever thus allow you more power.

Make sure the alan key is in square though as they like to round off :)

Oh, swift note, make sure you are indeed turning the key the correct way :)

(anti clockwise to undo)

kusam:
right....gonna try! Thanks
