It's likely that your existing quill stem does NOT have a removable faceplate, in that case you'll have to unwrap the handlebar tape from at least one side of the bars, remove the brake/shifter and wiggle the handlebars back out of the stem's bar clamp after loosening the stem's clamp bolt. That's it in a nutshell, but here are the possible complications and notes: Unless you're unhappy with your bars all you'll do is remove your existing quill stem, insert the adapter with spacers above or below to take up the extra space (not really necessary as described below but looks better) and then bolt down the top cap that comes with the adapter then bolt on your existing bars. The adapter comes with a top cap which is the piece that goes above the spacers on a normal threadless fork. That's counter intuitive but that's how it works. If you're not sure less offset (rake) increases the bike's stability and straight line tracking by increasing the trail, more offset (rake) decreases trail which makes the bike more responsive when initiating turns but does so at the expense of straight line tracking. Try to match the current fork offset (rake) between your old and new fork if you don't want to change the handling of your bike.

The full change to a new fork will almost certainly be lighter depending on the fork you buy and will give you more options in terms of fork.

Not a big deal for a shop or if you have the tools, but based on your question I suspect you haven't installed a lot of headsets. The first approach is pretty simple if it's just quick stem interchanges you're after, the second approach is a bit more involved as it requires driving out your old headset races and headset fork crown and pressing in new races and a new crown.

Or replace your existing threaded fork with a threadless fork which also means replacing the headset and then clamp your desired stem onto the new threadless steering tube. Pull out your existing stem, insert the adapter, clamp on a modern threadless stem and you're good to go.
