--- End quote ---

Most of the quills have come out of my stems quite easily. I normally clamp an old steel seat post into the stem to help undo the main bolt first. I then knock the quill out with a heavy rubber mallet but if that fails I will use a workshop press which I am lucky enough to have access to

When refitting the quill I use the seat post to help tighten the main bolt and apply bearing lock fluid to the quill to ensure a secure fit
