Probably a total newbie question but can anybody help me?
Having loosened the stem bolt and the headset nuts I expected the stem to come out so I could remove the forks from the frame of the Sun Snipe I am trying to restore.
The stem and the forks remain resolutely inline and won't budge. I don't want to apply too much pressure as I am now unsure as to whether I am doing the right thing.
The image below shows an arrow pointing to the stem and an arrow pointing to the top of what I thought was the fork. Should it come apart here? Could they just be a bit corroded and need soaking in WD-40? Have I missed loosening something? Have I got this completely wrong?
Any help appreciated please. Thanks.
