Just spent two hours today trying to get the seatpost and forks and headstem out.... Only got the seatpost out lol think the headstem has rusted and fused to the fork so gonna have to work hard to somehow separate them.

Worst comes to worst I'll have to hacksaw them apart and source some other parts.

Don't worry SS I'll keep posting pics. Hopefully will have it powdercoated within 3 or 4 weeks...

Stick the whole thing updside down in a bench vice, with the stem in the jaws. Some WD40 down the end of the fork's steerer tube might help here. Grip the seat-tube and headtube and swing like a motherfucker. Failing that, a big soft faced mallet and a blowtorch are your friends!*

i think its either fused at the wedge inside the tube, and its definetely fused at the top near the thread of the forks and the headstem... mite take some quality soaking in a molasses? bath or something (apparently acts like an acid bath).

used a heap of WD40 and no luck so far lol.... could take a few weeks of hard labour!
