Title: Need HELP Removing 86 steering stem
Post by: Action69 on February 16, 2018, 11:08:03 AM

Hello everyone I’m currently breaking down an 86 and I’m trying to remove the steering stem and I’m getting resistance.I removed the lower nut beneath the dust cap,
I removed the steering stem mount from the frame and I’m pulling pretty hard upward and nothing.Does the clip beneath the dust seal hold it in place?or do I just need to tap the bottom of the shaft with a rubber mallet or piece of wood and a hammer?thanks in advance for any help.

The c-clip is just for holding the bearing in place... Get a little penetrating oil in there & after letting it soak for a bit give it a love tap & it should break free.
