Prizing Seat Post Clamps Apart…….. to get it over the seat post tube ?  :)


Any tips on how to prize apart or widen a seatpost clamp, without damaging it. I have a Hutch Donut in Chrome, so need to be gentle with it……! So, no hammer or screw-drivers !! LOL !! (I think I had the hammer/screwdriver discussion with S.B. Dan and Mr Stupps at Daggers recently)

Any tips then ?  ;)

Waxintaxin:
I used a screwdriver and cloth and kinda twisted / screwed it on , it was tight and it was a hutch duffnut

 

harris:
make a wooden wedge then tap down from underside .
use a piece of wood and slice it down to a bit of a point     ie an old broom handle

pickle:
buy another one the correct size?   ::)

 ;)

I had the same problem with a Hutch donut.

Pulling it apart didn't work, so I got my trusty Dremmel and a smalling sanding tube and worked around the inside a couple of times. Hey presto, fitted with no visible scars.
