evening all

at the last MK I picked up a silverfox F&F and it got built up on the spot
some of you may remember the fun we had trying to free the renthal post (I have nicknamed it excalibur)
many tried and failed, not even dordy's mighty biceps could shift the fooker. we did try a bit of heat too but I didn't want to risk blueing the chrome

now I know that there are things that can be done with caustic soda, but with a duck nesting in the yard I don't want to risk poisoning it (plus I'm a lazy get and don't want to have to strip out the BB unless I have to)

what are my options for getting the thing out cleanly so I can finally put another post in? can it be drilled out?

if there's anyone local to me that has the necessary gear am happy to pay in beer tokens (or maybe nr walsall as am up there now & again)
not in any rush but would like to get it sorted for MK12!

Pillar drill would sort it no probs , local engineering firm  ???

on the national freestyler i chopped a slit either side with the angle grinder and shoved a flat file through and twisted and lubed with force gradually and they were corroded together badly ¬!!

doh!

of course - will try Steve in case he can help next time I'm in walsall
we could share a bag of orange chips

wasn't going to bother with local firms round here tbh, last time got ripped off by some guy when I needed my skyway axles trimming down
