isaacely Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi, can anyone offer any advice on how to remove the stem from the bottom front fork yoke on a fantic? Is it threaded or just pressed in? Does it only come out in one direction? Is it worth removing the tapered bearing first? Is it best to heat the alloy bottom yoke before attempting to remove it or push it out, will it take a lot of pressure and risk smashing the bottom yoke? I need to fit the yokes on another bike that has a thinner stem so need to remove this one so I can make a thinner one to fit. Thanks for any advice you can give. Alan.

lee harris Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 You got it. Use a press not a hammer. Heat and push out. 303 yokes have 16 mm stem instead of 20mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Push out from top to bottom. Bearing will stay seated then loosen after stem is pushed about 20 mm through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
