Yeah that's one of the things I'm going to try. Do you buy that at a hardware, auto parts or computer supply store? When I loosen the headset I was thinking of trying a combination of pencil-torch on the steerer with freeze spray on the stem. It appears this stem was raised a bit at some point, which may work to my advantage.
