eprada87 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 im changing my bearing on my 87 since its original and worn out. its so original that the locknut that holds the bearing is rusted in the frame. i washed it with PB blaster, torched it, tryed using the bolt trick that alot of people were talking about in other threads, and tryed using a big screw driver and hammer. Its still not even moving a bit. I even tryed cutting it with a dremel but my wheels break after a while. What do you guys suggest for me to do? looks like the only thing i can do it cut it into pieces. i will appreciate all the ideas and help i can get.

Bansh-eman Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 your best bet is to cut it. once you get the thing cut it should hel p to free it up from being in a bind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 we worked on one that was like that. air tools wouldnt budge it. i ended up giving up that lower stem part off my old J-ARM frame to fix his. if you have a shot frame and you can weld it could be fixed. if your lucky you wont have to go that road. good luck.

eprada87 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 i just finished cutting the locknut with a dremel. we used a HD wheel to cut that shit. now the bearing doesnt wanna come out. the internals came out of course from being shot so its jus the outer part thats still there. i just might go the dremel method again. thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
