austen Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Your star nut will be f*cked. Could either be the whole star nut spinning in the steer tube or just the silver threaded bit. Try sticking a long screwdriver up the steer tube to hold it in place and loosen the bolt. If that doesn't work stick a metal bar or bit off wood up the steer tube and hit it with a hammer and it will hammer the star nut out! you'll need to buy a new star nut though!
