Removal Help :(

[skets]

I left my pipe wrench in America so I can't get my threaded heatset bolt off to put my new forks on. I don't want to go looking for a new tool. Is there a way to remove it without needing a pipe wrench. I have some other tools but no luck. Please help soon. (I WANT TO FINISH MY VIDEO PART)

Um.... do you have any type of wrenches at all that might fit it?
All it needs is one good tug and it should come loose enough to finger unscrew it.
If not ask someone witha good grip whos strong or just wor at it yourself

Also I am having a problem with the the crown race thing. I need to remove it but don't know how. I tried the bike method but no luck. It is the thing at the bottom of my forks where the bottom bearings sit. I am transferring it from my bent rups to lucky nw threaded. Please help because I want to ride so bad.

If there is a space between the fork and race fit a small flathead in-between the fork and race and tap it with a hammer evenly around the fork, then it just slides off from there.

There is no gap in mine

There is unless the race Is integrated, its just the point where the race and fork meet. If you can't do it that way hit the race from the bottom of the fork. If that fails, use vice grips to twist it loose, but this could mess up your race.

dude, you just put a flathead screwdriver on it, tap and move it a bit, and keep doing that. if theres no ledge maybe you've already taken it off.

cut the forks off and get threadless forks
