Cut a notch into the race, in such a position that with the trees on the floor you have the notch facing upwards. Get a BIG, SHARP chisel and smack into the notch with the chisel at 45 degrees to the radius of the race (wear safety goggles) and use a BIG hammer......that will shift it as it will crack the race and you can pull it off.
To soften it up before using the chisel I recommend showing it a picture of Chuck Norris....

Stem up cut the race vertical right? I did that with the stem races they never cracked I had to cut chunks out until it was loose enough to pop out. This one better crack the rain stopped it's time to ride

That race came off in 5 minutes, I did the fall away but it feels super light steering now, it's not loose I don't think. One way was easier to fall than the other. I wish there was a torque setting to just tighten the bolt to.
What keeps that bolt tight there's no lock washer or anything?

The manual on my 97 EG puts the stem nut at 55-65 ft lbs, the adjuster nut is tightened till you get the correct swing pattern. Gonna take some playing time to nail it down.
Least that's how mine is set up

Top triple tree has a pinch bolt at the back to keep the nut tight.
