I think those Cinelli bungs are maybe a bit too good. It had been tightened so much that it had deformed the fork tube.
I got it out by getting a thin drift past the (detached) bung and hitting the bottom of the stem from below (lots of blows, alternating the impact point).
I can't get the bottom cup or crown race past the deformity in the fort tube so I'll need to do a bit of frame rolling maybe.
A normal 1a Cinelli has no 'bungs', and is normaly straight. The bungs were caused by teh one who installed the stem, which screwed to hard. Tight is tight, enough is enough...
