Remind me again, how does one get a bolt out of the rear drop when it's been
seized for a number of years? Thanks |

Thanks If it's a steel bolt in an aluminium frame, try a kettle full of boiling water poured over the dropout. Tom -- Return address is dead.

Second, if that fails, ammonia dissolves aluminium oxide, which may help. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ :: Wisdom is better than weapons of war :: :: Ecclesiastes 9:18 :: |

I very much doubt whether a hair dryer or boiling water will help. What you need is a blow torch and Plus Gas. Maybe, but might as well try the gentler methods first to minimise damage. It's surprising how hot you can get metal with a hair dyer if you hold it close for a while. ~PB |

Second, if that fails, ammonia dissolves aluminium oxide, which may help. Actually it doesn't - not sufficiently alkaline ! Zinc oxide yes but Al2O3 No. Tried it in a test tube to confirm but this is a standard test for Al. Regards Paul -- CTC Right to Ride Representative for Richmond upon Thames |
