Stuck stem on old bike
#2
Hi Jo;

You need to loosen (counterclockwise) the bolt a few turns, so that there is clearance underneath the head of the bolt, then put a block of wood on top of the bolt, and hit with a hammer until there is no clearance under the head of the bolt. Repeat until stem is loose.
