Check out the link, this is what you are dealing with. Your stem has a wedge. Screw the stem bolt back in until it's about 1/2" up. Then tap it down to drive the wedge down. Once the wedge is free you should be able to move the bolt up and down easily. If you can, then remove the stem from the steertube. Then remove the nut and washer, (or rack bracket) from the steertube. Then unscrew the bearing race and remove the bearings. The fork can then be removed.
Trying to dismantle my original fork (i.e., Schwinn Middleweight) from frame and it won't crack lose of head tube. I poured motor oil down inside {below neck}. Any ideas? Thanks, KC
PATIENCE....Best advice for starters..I've done this countless times.I learned not to be in a hurry.Turn the bike upside down,remove the wheel and fender screw.Spray a ton of rust breaking oil (I swear by Kano Kroil) into the fender screw hole and let it sit for a few hours.You might need to do it more than once. Careful hammering on the stem bolt,use a piece of aluminum or brass as a punch..Dont go nuts with the hammer.If it doesn't pop loose,give it more oil and time.You'll do some damage by beating on it.Again..Patience..Good luck
