Triple Tree Stem Bolt

[mcornelius]

Hi Guys,

Could someone please give me some tips on how to untorqued the stem bolt. My 3/4' wrench just will not budge that nut. Breaker bar, or impact wrench? Or is there a trick to it?

Thanks

Hmm yeah, shouldn't be that tight.. Maybe the PO was trying to fix a loose front bearing that way? Try rapping the head a few times (trying not to damage the head)

How is rapping his head gonna help loosen the headstock nut?
