Hey guys,wondering if anyone here has any clue about releasing a seized bottom bracket. My mate in oxford just bought a nice harry quinn with the aim of conversion and his bb is stuck. he has taken it to 2 LBSs but none of them want/can do it for him. do you know of any place in london where he could bring it down and do it. we have very limited tool kit and we are a bit short in time as we were planning a bike trip up in loch lommond the wknd after next so i wont have all the time to get all the equipment i may need. also the dudes in the oxford lbs said that forcing it might brake the frame. had a google education and to me it doesnt seem like that happens often, worse case you have to rethread. opinions and advice appreciated. thanks
