LSL bar conversion removal, Pointy.

So made the decision to go back to the good ol' clipons on my K6.

Got the bar off, only to find that I can't get the socket over the steering stem nut as the base for the bar is risen slightly on the lover half, meaning I cannot get a good hold on the nut (see pics)





Before you ask I didn't put it on, was the previous owner!

Any Ideas folks?

Grind out the backside or grind down the outter perimeter of a socket

Get a punch or chisel & hit the corner of the nut until it loosens

thin walled socket or box spanner
looks like it's already have the hammer and screwdriver treatment...pah

Looks more like the sockets slipped on the nut

Another bodge option is to get a stilson wrench on the round top of the nut.

I use a headset spanner meant for cycles. Your local push bike shop will stock them.
