Get a "hoofing great flat ended screw driver " and tap it round (or "twat it"). You will need to hold the crank to stop it spinning. Maybe put the crank in a vice to really give you something solid to work on. Make sure you turn it the right (or is that wrong) way.

Okay cheers, i think im with you now.  I will go with the twat it option LOL na, not really, unless it starts to play me, then the front forkes will get the treatment too and the skip will get the aero.

perry:
its not a major problem making some new dropouts

whats the car ?  :)

guitarnutter:
Sorry its not mine really, its belongs to a customer, he had it soda blasted by my mate whos doing my aero, the photos are in his unit, he told me what it was but he's done lots now and i forget. 
People do soda blasting mobile, if you saw the shit that flies when he fires up the blaster, it looks like desert storm and people are paying to have it done on the drive ways!!!  they just dont realize what sort of mucking fess their letting them and there neighbour in for, i'd love a picture of their faces, priceless! :2funny:

Okay it pretty embarasing but, what the feck.
It was a warm hot summer day back in the year 198? and i purchased a shinney new neon pink brake cable i had changed my brake cables b4 and never had a problem, so i took it all to pieces and then attached the new cable and hey presto! it was fecked!  no mater how many times i tried, as the temprature in the sweat box aka garage got hotter, the breaks were either off or locked on. I struggled and struggled and i got knowhere, i then started to see, in the corner of my eye to begin with,  A fine pink mist descending in the room?  I tried the brakes again and it locked on, i let go of the brake lever and it was still locked on , that when i snapped the pink mist was now neon red and before i know what happened, the dropout was broken and the wheel fell kinda off.

guitarnutter:
finally it is stripped, again thanks for your help guy and girls.  also fuzzynod has been in contact so, i just need my mate to strip the back end ready for him so that if he can do it, its ready to post.
