undo the hexagon nut (17mm spaner on mine) then the stems should tap out as they are a expanding collet type thing that fits in a tube on the bars

try giving the stems a tap with a rubber mallet or simmilar, they work on expansion as you tighten them so may need a shock to get them to retract, obviously be careful
