Tomalex-
I have no such pliers!
But the stem has a little bolt for opening the clamp. So I'll stick a coin behind that, tighten it down as far as I dare, lube the bar up with soapy water, get the orientation sorted, add a flathead screwdriver for bonus spreadz if I'm desperate, and just pull and wiggle like mad. And turn the air blue with obscenities of course.

Thanks you lot. Tomorrow I'll try the soapy water, the screwdriver and the swearing. If you could all do some extra swearing for me it might help. Around 1pm.
@Ordinata thanks for the pic. On first glance your stem looks near 100mm ish and I need 120-130mm ish, so assuming it's on the shorter side I will pass. Which is a shame because I'd love a Cinelli on the tandem tbh...
