EXTREME......um hinge pin removal

[Southwell]

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 ( <<<Me). I have now removed the offended hinge pin and decided beer and tv is the way forward for tonight.

Hope you enjoyed my story.


Thankyou

Ha ha just had the same problem with my BX, I think I'm going to need to add all new bearings, hinge pins, diff balls, diff rings, screws bla bla bla, ruddy rain.

You can have my crappy rusty cast off bits if you like Ian
