Exclamation Need help fast!!! Please help!!

2013 Softail Breakout. Does anyone know if this FORK STEM is removable from the tree?? Im sending the part off to the powdercoater today and can't for the life of me get it out. The manual is unclear if its removable or not.

I would assume that yes it's remove able but have no idea how. Looks to me like it's pressed into place

I did mine on my old Fatboy with the stem on. They masked off the stem. That stem is pressed in there. You'll need a big press to get it out.

It's pressed in. But just leave it in there. Tell the powder foster to mask it off
