Hello, I have a similar problem - however the wedge has separated well enouugh (well i I have managed to retreive it from the bottlom of the steerer tube).
My Problem is that the stem (alloy) seems to have fused with the steel tube. Can I just apply brute force ? Or will likely damage the bike.
So far I have tried to knock the stem with a hammer (I am replacing it and an not too concerned if I end up damageing it if thats what it takes), I have also put thin oil around the "fused" area.
Any help would be most welcome.
