Hi, can anyone lend a hand in helping me remove a slightly seized campy bottom bracket? I've plusgas'd it but lack the proper tool. I also need to drill out a sheared off adjuster bolt but that's another matter (I will happily accept assitance on this too!) I'm based in N16 but will happily travel and provide payment in the form of a few cans of beer or equivalent...

It's Italian, give it what it deserves,

In all seriosity though, get it to someone with the proper tool and a vice, tool in the vice, frame ontop and use the frame as a lever.

+1 for mechanical vandal, attach the tool to the bb using a bolt or quick release. stick the tool in a vice and make sure you remember to twist the frame the right way. I had a bb so stuck I thought if was going to have to drill it out. Put it in a vice and it took 2 seconds.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
