Engine parts are stronger than you initially think.
I also sometimes have something stuck.
But don't get me wrong.
I am willing to do what is necessary.
Here you see me, descending into a volcano, with motorbike parts.
And I have a whole range of hammers, so that I can always use the right tool for the job.
Ore, just take a run ub.
I have heard in the corridors that they are thinking about banning you.
Not entirely wrongly,
we have enough misery with corona and stuff.
Get her done.

That part is not easily found in Europe and the only place I know of that has it as a spare part is motorycleparts.eu and it's not exactly cheap there.

I use ebay quite a lot and I did find a few US sellers that shipped to Europe which surprised me a little but that will probably be the way to go because I refuse to spend 450 USD on the top part and in worst case another 650 USD on the bottom part.

Don't pull it, don't heat it, just crapity smack it sideways with a rubber mallet. You will not ever damage it that way. Zeven is right crappity smack it - you're turning it, the same action it does in real life.
Cool.

See, not only does he come up with the best idea - crappity smack it - and don't fu(k like old people, he also has the best part to replace it.
Now crappity smack it. Horizontal - spin it. Then it will work itself out.
Cool.

Pulling out at the ends
Bad idea
But
A board across the top
Clamps as close to the middle as possible
A hammer on the board...
If that doesn't get it
Tear it off and get one

Here is the latest technology invented in 1056 BC, Hit the drucking thing with frozen dead animal leg sideways.
Then in 101 AD they invented to hit it with a tree limb.
In 1001 AD they invented to hit it with a precisely shaped tree.
Then 2001 AD they invented a wooden stick with a chunck of car tire.
Then in 2020 they invented the car tire on a stick with Corona Virus.
Just hit it man. Sideways. Rotation is 1/2 of removation.
Cool.

Yeah, once it spins, it'll be easier
WD 40 evaporates
Is actually for
Water Displacement .
Try again
And do something.

Ok I try, a different approach.
This is a rare moment when you get the chance to look at your upper triple clamp in an aloof and detached way. Imagine a gentle breeze, refreshing, tonifying, clearing your mind of all unnecessary clutter.
And look at your Trippelclamp frome a distans....
Tel me, what do you feel?
(So i can work whit that)

Electric heat gun, WD40 and a dead blow hammer took care of it
