i have the same problem  :-\  and for something like a stuck freewheel you have to have one thats bolted to a heavy base ... a clamp on one aint worth sh*t

Dannywhac:
I use a big vice, before I got a workbench (like I said, me shed fell in on itself) I bolted it to a plankof wood. Plenty o'leverage then. You're right about the clamp on vices though - snapped one clean in two getting a stuck crank arm off.

1mancity2:
Try  some plusgas on it, or soaking it with diesel but not gauranteed to work and by the time you have bought the stuff LBS would have got it off.....

bobbbbsy:
i took a flip/flop ally wheel from a 1963 racing bike in to the bike shop. the fixed wheel was seized and the freewheel fitting edges were mangled!! neither had been off for decades but i got it back 60secs later , bits in a bag, no charge!

Devilock:
Thats great, thanks guys. Ill try the vice on some wood method...when i buy a vice! Ive got 2 that feel like they're bloody welded on...
