1/18 stem removal

[Glen]

Im stuck with a stem attached to the forks.  Top bolt has been removed, 1 side bolt has been removed, 1 side bolt is rounded off.  Drilling has no effect what so ever on the bolt.  Hacksawing it just destroyed the blade.  what now?  I can just barely move the stem on the forks but thats using all my strength and it moves slightly - with front wheel and bars installed.  The only other thing I can think of is getting a hacksaw blade for metal.  help!

Have you tried getting a torx bit & hammering it into the rounded off allen bolt, I've done this in the past & its worked.

Or can you get at any of the bolt shaft with a dremel

Dremel with a grind disc on it would be my approach

problem is a grind disk wont fit in the groove in the stem

A dremel one should; If you can get at it with a hacksaw then a dremel should be no problem.

put the other bolt back in and really tighten it
then wack a torq bit into the rounded off one
should come undone then .

turn the bike upside down and whilst holding the bars off the floor twat the bottom of the stem with a rubber mallet, once the stem is off all the pressure on the rounded out bolt should be released making it easier to remove

What worked?

[kev-s]

if in doubt give it a clout
