Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and have searched, with no luck, for advice for this issue I have. If anyone can help that would be great.

I found a beat to **** Raleigh Record, probably mid 70's, still made in England. I would like to clean it up and make a single speed out of it. My problem is that I cannot get the headset to break loose. I have the entire fork ready to drop out of the head tube, but I cannot get the handlebar stem to break loose.

Any advice would be appreciated.
