Referring to the attached photo, when I tried to remove nut number 4 on top of the stanchion it’s coming away with the threaded stud. Is it ok for this to happen or will I be damaging the stanchion and will it all fall apart.
Thanks Dave

When you remove the nut push down a bit on the threaded bit so the whole lot slips down and you can re-route the cables, let Cliff help you:

Thanks for your reply but the problem is that the nut will not come off without the stud. Can I take it out with the the stud.

The stud is part of the stanchion. Even if it comes away from the stanchion you won’t be able to remove it as it won’t pull through the top yolk bush.

Are you sure the whole stanchion isn’t turning ? It’s meant to turn, you can grip it and turn it by hand. The stanchion has a hex under the yolk which you need to put an open ended spanner on to stop it from turning while you undo the top nut.

I’ve had a 19 mm spanner on the nut and the m14x1.5 nut is for some reason is unscrewing with the stud
