Took my pro neck stem off but the wedge is stuck in the fork tube still.

Have sprayed it with loads of WD40 and am leaving it over night, what else can I do to get it out without damaging anything?

smack it out from the bottom

use a long thick screwdriver and lump hammer. won't damage it. they are hard.

Or an old socket extension so's not to damage the thread, also try screwing the bolt in and pouring a small amount of diesel down and leaving it for a day or so  :daumenhoch:.
