Help with removing a stem...

(1/1)

davevilla:
Wondered if you could help with this one chaps?

I am trying to get the Suntour Power Stem out of this old Burner....only it seemsto be stuck.

Any idea on shifting the thing would be gratefully received  :daumenhoch:

Many thanks

 :) Spray loads of WD40/allow to soak over night and try tapping big screwdriver from the bottom of the steerer tube..

kuwahero:
if the wedge is still in the steerer tube they lock the stem when tightened up. I have had a fair few of these stems. trick is to screw bolt back in about four or five threads. Then hit bolt with a mallet or hammer. it will force the wedge back down and it should just pull out.

if there is no wedge and its just rusted in. like heywood said
