Flush bolt stuck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(1/4) > >>

southern andy:
Yep stuck tight.

It's on the profile arm that doesn't have the chain ring (non drive ???)

I've taken the crank in to work this afternoon and stuck the spindle in a vice, inserted the alun key and put a extension bar on to the key, pushed hard and the alun key just twisted  :LolLolLolLol:  . I have also sprayed a shed load of oil on to it but still stuck.

Is this really a problem as the cranks have been remove initially, e.g if i was to re fit them i could just poke them through the bottom bracket and plonk the the arm on. Job done. :)

i think you've answered your own question mate, i had the same problem on one of my old cranks and as it's not the drive side i didn't worry about it  :daumenhoch:

just leave as is as long as the axle is fine then just leave it  :daumenhoch:

lazychubs:
hold the arm and tap the axle thru a tad with a copper hammer
then ya can get somit to undo bolt then

Cheers Mr Pickle, i thought that would be Ok, just wanted it clarifying really.

So who's got a set of bearings and a space tube for me then    :LolLolLolLol:

Try a good squirt of GT85/WD40-also a good quality allen key! I had the same prob on Saturday with my sons GT crankset!
