Use this guide to remove the handlebar and stem from a Trek 820 or similar bikes that have a thread less stem.

The stem acts with the handlebar to steer the bike in the desired location while keeping the fork and headset attached to the bikes frame. It is important that these steps are done correctly to ensure that the rider is safe while operating this bicycle.

Before using this guide make sure you have the correct size handlebar and stem depending on which item you are replacing.

By hand you can now adjust the positioning of the stem and handlebar so that is in line with the front wheel of the bike.
Tighten the two bolts; [I] and [II] with a 7/32" Allen Wrench . These clamp the stem to the steerer tube of the fork.
Make sure that after tightening bolt [II] you go back and make sure you check the tightness of bolt [I] again. Since the bolts are used to clamp, bolt I will usually not be tight enough after tightening bolt [II].
