Hey guys! So I've got a 1979 XS750. I'm taking it down to the frame and having the frame and some other bits powder coated. I'm almost done but I can't seem to get this collar off the lower part of the triple clamp/steering stem. There was a tapered bearing over top of it that shattered when I tried to take it off but it left this collar. I've been beating on it with a dead blow and a screw driver with no luck. Before I went ahead and put heat on it and started going crazy on it, I wanted to check with you guys. This thing does come off right? All of them I see on ebay still have the bearing on it but I'm guessing they just didn't wanna mess with it? Thanks guys.
