I got myself banned.
I took my bars off to tighten my HIC because it came loose and when i turn the compresion bolt it just turns and doesnt go up or down and i know my starnut didnt pull out because my shim wouldve came off and my forks wouldve came out of my head tube right? HELP!

Try wedging a flat head screw driver under the bolt head while trying to back the bolt out.

Butter knife works also since they're thinner but don't let your Mom catch you :)
 
i know this shits old but if you havent fixed it, here ya go. if your bolt isnt counter sunk into your topcap, try getting a hacksaw and cut a slit into your bolt head. then get a flathead screwdriver and take it out. get a new bolt btw too.

if the blot has flanges then take ur front wheel off and stick a flathead screwdriver between the flange and the bottom of the forks, also use wd-40 to help it ease out :)
