EXTREME......um hinge pin removal
 

So i get my BX all cleaned except the wishbones and noticed the rear caster blocks were very tight so i decided to remove them to clean them....roll on an hour and im trying to bang the hinge pin out with a broken driver and a small hammer, to no use.
I decided the best way to do it was cut out the pin from the wishbones thus ruining a perfectly good pair of wishbones and then pushing the hinge pin out with a pair of mole grips. They get out the first one relitively easily, the second one was mostly out when they slipped and i ended up clamping my thumb (:mad: <<<Me). I have now removed the offended hinge pin and decided beer and tv is the way forward for tonight. :p

Hope you enjoyed my story.


Thankyou
