Hi Guys,

What do you do to get a bb off when you have smashed the shite out of it and broken all the teeth off of it????

I lost my temper with one today and completly fooked it, should have stopped when the first tooth snapped using my propper tool, then the screw driver and hammer came out, and when the stilsons came out I really should have stopped :tickedoff:

Cheers,
Lee.

I am guessing you mean the frewheel?

Either clamp the fook out of it in a decent vice or get a propper freewheel removal tool

Moschops:
No, bottom bracket cup drive side. Me saying teeth probably threw you.

What I meant by teeth was the machined notches that the tool sits in. It's not an Isis one its a 19mm spindle Sinz one.

Any pics so we can see what you have done and what you were trying to do?

I'm finding it hard to visualise the BB and how it can be removed...

Moschops:
The good side:

This came out fine using a pin style BB tool.

The Dark side:


And this thing moved about 5mm in both directions and then got seazed, as you can see I lost the plot and butchered it, I just want it off  >:(
