Stem looks ridiculously too tall. Since it has a wedge type, its easy to cut. I use a bench mounted grinder with a cut off wheel and just measure up about an inch or two and slice off the excess. Make sure you try to replicate the angle of the cut as the original slant. You can just use the cut off wheel to smooth it out after you cut it off. I think cutting off a couple of inches will make the stem much more manageable.
