Push out from the top in from the bottom

The stems get pressed out the bottom of the T-clamps and to re-install you press the stem up through the bottom of the T-clamp.

Depending on the year of your KDX, some stems need to be knurled to fit the KX T-clamp and others need a little machined off (about 3 mm) so the lower bearing will seat against the lower T-clamp.

You should send it to Ron Black. Will be a no brainer then...
