Hello All
Another frustrated BB removal failure here. My girlfriend is VERY attached to her Falcon Sorrento ladies stepthrough due to the colour more than anything else. It has a loose BB that won't tighten up and won't come off. Turning the right way, soaked in WD 40, placed in vice, ruined various spanners, scraped knuckles, weeped, but not budged it a thousandth of a mm.
Anyone got bright ideas/dremel/welding gear? Ideally I would remove it and replace it with a non-cottered set-up but if it came off and just needed new ballbearings that would obviously save some wedge.
Cheers
