Stem removal

Post by callyboy » Tue May 31, 2011 1:08 pm

How does the stem come out from the frame neck(wrong terms ?) ?

do i need to remove something else ? although not much else left on it.

When i did my "cough" Impulse, it just fell out of the tube.

Looks like the stem rusted solid in the bearing? Whack it like a man - and don't forget to protect the stem's thread.

Soaked it with some soaky stuff and then whacked it with my big wooden hammer. And guess what ?..........Nothing broke and it slipped out quicker than a slippery thing in a slippery slimey tube :)

Thanks H. I luv you too mate ;)
