Hey i’ve got this handlebar and stem combo tranz-x and were looking to change the stem but the tranz-x stem is impossible to get out.
Does anyone has a clue on how to get it out and how this part was made since there is no scratches indating it was forced on.
Its a one bolt stem and wont slide out because of the habdlebar sweep even loosed up and with force

In my opinion you’re probably gonna have to stick a flat head screwdriver in between the section where the bolt flanges are and pry it apart a bit. Just go slow and steady.
wedge it open further
Use a bolt in the threaded side and block the center with a cone wrench handle. As the bolt presses against the handle, the force of the turning wedges the split open.
