After I remove the bolts in the bottom triple clamp I spray some slick-um like PB Blaster around the tube where it can run down and get into the lower TC area and I spray some around the top TC where the tube is coming out of the top TC. I then use a rubber mallet to hit the chrome top bolt. Be sure to have that bolt about 1/8 inch out the top. You will see the tube move down and as it does turn the CTB out a small amount more. Once ya have the tubes down about 3/8 inch then ya can use the rubber mallet to knock the upper TC off the stem.Slow and easy is the word here. .........lm
