XT Forks Stuck.

[JamieBowe]

Ok, No this isn't a noob thread, But anybody got any old tricks to get some forks off, like the nuts stuck on, Literally jammed, Me and my friend tried getting it off together with WD-40 and it still didn't work.

have u tried a big ass mofo shifter?

 

[JamieBowe]

YES, My shifters huge, No luck If worse comes to worse, Does anyone think A garage (car workshop) would take it off for me?

 

[Kano]

fuck i hate that.

Get a t-tube and put it between the fork legs so you have more leverage, then get some vice grips and go to town.

 

[Ryan Kang]

if you dont care about the fork, hammer?

 

[Michael Rankin]

t-tube in the fork and legs and a 12 inch crescent wrench

no

boom roasted

and the way I fix this problem is putting the fork legs on the edge of a table like one on top and one on bottom and wrenching the shit outta it. Same concept as putting a ttube in the fork legs

 

[demo]

take an angle grinder and cut it side ways really close to the threads and take a flat head screw driver and twist it . it should snap. then wiggle it off. or do the same to the other side. so it will be like (o) then ur set

 

[domd]

use a hacksaw to cut even with the nut to make it flush then screw it off

 

[Steezeman]

Actually, do what I said but put the nuts in a vice or some sort of clamp. That'll work for sure.

All good, Took it to a bike shop and got it done.
