Hey All,
Typical story of my life. Had a few hours off work and decided to finally service the headset on my pub/beater. I've neglected it for over 20 years so not sure why now was the moment i'd choose to sort it.
Taking it apart and there is washer that appears to be quite stuck on (see picture). Not seen anything like this on a threaded headset before but looks like it has a bit of a grip area on so assume it should just turn off?
Seems really stuck and doesn't seem to twist or lift off.
Any ideas or tips to get this off or just it just need more force and a bit of lubrication?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
