Hi all,
I've been gingerly poking around my spindle of what I expect is a somewhat rusty Wicked press-fit BB. I can't get the spindle to budge with normal effort (which involved some soft headed hammer taps, and wood blocks and a vise).
So, I've spent a day dripping oil down the spindle in hopes that it'll penetrate, and tonight I'm going to give it some hearty effin' whacks with the steel side of a Park tools hammer and hope not to peen the end of the spindle.
Anyone care to talk me down from this course of action?:skull::skull::skull: Anything I should try first? Apply heat?
Many thanks,
-Raj
