Trying to remove the steering stem - I can't get the tie-rod joint off of the stem so that I can pull it through the frame. Any help would be great. Thanks

use a hammer and hit the stem where the ball joint goes through it to brake it loose

I find two hammers and tap them simultaneously and the joint will just pop out

I am doing the same thing. The angle to hit the ball joint doesn't seem sufficient or enough clearance. If I am able to get the ball joint out will they still be usable or do I buy a new set?

put the nut on the end of it and hit the nut it will keep the thread safe then take the nut off once it comes lose good luck
