Steering stem removal, Marzoochi forks, 860 GT

Post by GaryinTexas »

Hello All, I have some 38mm Marzocchi triple clamps I need to remove the steering stem from. I understand it is pressed in, but from the top or the bottom? Which way do I press to remove? Any other advice?
Thanks, Gary

It looks like you have to press out from the top and in from the bottom. There is actually a metal O ring on the bottom of the stem that acts as a stop on installation...from the bottom. Hope this helps someone.
