2018 Marin Muirwoods commuter which gets ridden pretty much every day. Steel frame and a great low maintenance bike. However square taper BB is in process of self destructing so emptied my garage to find my crank extractor and get the cranks off but when I came to remove the BB it appears to be seized!!
Have locked the tool in place with a washer and a crank bolt but I only have a headset spanner that fits and I just can’t get the BB to budge, even the plastic(?) non-drive side! And yes, I am making sure I’m turning it the right way!
So does coke down the seat tube really work? I’ve poured maybe 1/3rd of a can down the seat-tube and was going to leave it for a while before trying again. Or do I really need to find someone with a vice?
Thanks, Alex
