pro neck stem large bolt removal????????????

[kowalski]

im sure there have been many threads on this but i cant find em so here goes!
im trying to strip a proneck stem down for a polish or re ano job but cant get the large headed nut off the top,
does it actually come off? i have removed the first smaller one and the long nut and have tried turning the larger one but nothing is doing
please advise

Clamp an old set of bars or seat post in the stem to undo the main bolt

You'll also need a decent press to remove the quill from the bottom plate
