Title: Tuf Neck stem dismantling
Post by: burnaliser on September 25, 2007, 04:11 PM: Is it possible to take a Tuf Neck stem fully to bits?

And if so, how do i get the main shaft thingy off the bottom block of the stem? ???

Yes you can dismantle them, ideally you need a bearing press type machine to push the shaft out as it won't damage the stem that way :daumenhoch:

Re-Anodising or super polish?

I stripped mine to get it re-anodised and it's come up a treat :daumenhoch:

I don't think you will have problems with it but tbh I would not get it powdered they look better in the raw of anodised :daumenhoch:
