kid creole Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 undo the stem bolts and pull on the stem to just rip the star nut out or get the screwdriver and hammer and smash the top cap up around the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 get the bike upside down...get a section of old handlebar etc, ram it down the forks ( from front wheel towards stem direction ) now twat that with a hammer...it should push the star nut out enough to grab the offending bolt with some molegrips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
