hammered deep "H" stem refurb 13 years later and still going on about

[neiljonarcus]

bought this of a mate , what he won off ebay the bloke said it has a couple of marks on it ..... i dont know why any one could do this to such a nice stem. so i have a nice task ahead of me fingers crossed

[Swivel]

Really looks like that's been in the wars Neil 

[baldbmxer]

Butchered! what kind of fool does that! 

[wildon]

How you gonna do that Neil?  Surely you'll have to use a filler? 

[bobafett]

Looks like it's been in the tumble dryer with a load of rocks 

Should be an interesting "before and after" shot I reckon 

[neiljonarcus]

if i fook it  . i will will hold my hand up , but i think slow and easy does it

TRUST YOU MATHEW 

[martylaa]

i'll be watching this one closely fella

[MartyC]

That should come up well with a bit of elbow grease, unfortunately it's usually ignorance of basic mechanical techniques that cause problems like that 

[ED209]

a former owner of this stem must have been ignorant to the 'unscrew the stem bolt a bit and give it gently tap' way of removing a stem

STOP.... HAMMER TIME!

[dannywhiteley]

Who was the seller of this, anyone we know?

it was bought from usa ebay .........a nice dead blow hammer would have worked a treat .    "hope you guys  know what a dead blow hammer is "     

[double chevron]

And another one who probably never heard of "Hammer Control" 

[Steve P]

Should be a nice project ... well worth getting the dings alloy welded rather than using filler and paint 

[sweetbeats]

That's Been well Hutcherd,can't wait to see it restored 

[Mattdub]

What I thought too Steve  , well worth taking the time to get right . Alloy weld/filled then re-shape to OG angles where needed .

[neiljonarcus]

spent a couple of hours last night on this stem  "might have took on something that  i might fail at  "  the addiction give me insomnia    back out to the cold shed 

[Dingobmxer]

it looks like it has been used as a hammer rather than hit with one
