Crossbones STEM REMOVAL HELP!

Hey Guys I bought a rake kit and I have to remove the original stem, and it seems impossible to do! Please if anyone can help me through! I'd really appreciate it!

Too much to type/walk through...best recommendation is to get yourself the service manual as it has everything you need to know for bike tear-down. I wouldn't own one without it...JMO.

You'll need access to a good press.

I used a torch & heated the crap out of the stem, put an impact socket over stem threads & used a dead blow hammer to pound it out. Took a bit of effort, but it came out.
