FuNMoNsTeR:
Well the Turbo FINALLY turned up.... :) I had to pay £142 Import taxes and VAT on a $500 bike  :wtf:
 Unfortunately everything(and i mean everything) on it is seized solid... nothing spins or moves not even the pedals :-\  The guy described it as " only needs TLC to get it back in top shape" Lmao.
  I am having trouble with the cranks and pedals and would like some advice on how best to remove them without damaging either. The problem with removing the cranks is that i cant get access to either spindle nut as the caps are oxidised in there.
  Here are some piccys. Do you think the wheels are salvageable :LolLolLolLol:

theRuler:
lol nice "sea bed" turbo!!!

you could drill off the end caps, then get a puller on the arms maybe?
them wheels would clean up

did you buy it off the little mermaid?

i think the crustation rear sprocket may be past it's best though mate

Peanut:
Hubs and rims look salvageable, forget the spokes they've way gone as with the sprocket. Looks like you'll have to drill the endcaps but you could try cutting a slot in them then put something in the slot and use something to turn them with plenty of leverage, not very helpful I know.

Steve P:
My workshop uses Wurth "High Performance Rust Dissolver" to unsieze rusty fixings, etc

It's quite expensive stuff but it's never failed us yet . . . even on the early cars we take on for repair

Good luck  ;)

ORB:
Tap a hole in the end cap and then put a screw driver into it and lever it off.

Then take the pedals to bits and let the arm and the pedal spindle soad in Derv for a day or so.

Then put the pesal spindle in a vice and use the crank arm as a lever.

I see nothing there that looks like a problem.

Good luck
