pro neck stem large bolt removal????????????

(1/1)

kowalski:
im sure there have been many threads on this but i cant find em so here goes!
im trying to strip a proneck stem down for a polish or re ano job but cant get the large headed nut off the top,
does it actually come off? i have removed the first smaller one and the long nut and have tried turning the larger one but nothing is doing
please advise :daumenhoch:

Steve P:
Clamp an old set of bars or seat post in the stem to undo the main bolt

You'll also need a decent press to remove the quill from the bottom plate :daumenhoch:

kowalski:
