Removing a stck stem

(1/2) > >>

virtualmeuk:
Git a stem stuck in a set of forks. Cant shift em for love nor money. Anyone got ant ideas?

stidds:
I had this problem once and I sprayed loads of penetrating oil down the fork stem and left to soak.   Then I clamped a metal bar in the stem where you would mount a set of bars and twisted it.

virtualmeuk:
yeah tried that but i think the stem has now loosened from the clamp cos there is a little omvement but the quill doesnt seem to be moving :-[ probablt have to do a bit of drastic hammering up the steerer. :knuppel2:

perry:
soak it in diesel for a few days

shame if the stems a gonner

virtualmeuk:
Diesel!!! not heard that one before/

Will try that when i get my truck back tomorrow :daumenhoch:
