Bicycle Quill Stem Stuck Due to Seized Internal Wedge

Identify this cause by observing if the stem bolt is loose but the wedge has not disengaged from the steerer tube wall. Confirm by checking if the bolt head has significant vertical play but the stem remains locked in position. This indicates the wedge is still expanded against the internal diameter of the steerer tube.
