  Mole Grip+Hacksaw did the trick. Bolt thread was gone in places, just enough to jam it. Thanks anyway! Will get one of them brakes from the listing👍

  Hi,

  Keeping the hacksaw as a last resort. Sadly the flathead didn't work. Thanks though

  Hi,

  Put a brand new (budget) front brake onto my fixie, that I couldn't tighten properly, it was sitting loose in the fork. Kept trying and probably damaged it, so now I can turn it both directions, but it doesn't tighten or loosen at all even if:

  • I take the wheels off and hold the nut with a wrench, whilst turning the brake itself around.
    
  • Holding the axle and turning the nut.
    
  • Wedged directly behind the nut putting pressure on and trying to unscrew it.
    
    

  Any ideas how to take it off the fork? Thank guys.
