I'm trying to strip a bike but the left pedal is stuck fast! And yes I am turning it clockwise to take it off. The pedal spanner just slips off (starting to round off) and an allen key is nigh on useless. Any tips?
Also while I'm on the subject of seized stuff on the same bike the handlebar stem is also seized. It's been soaked over night in WD40 but alas it will not budge....
I've read that ammonia is good, but where on earth so I get that from!? I've also read about heating the crank up so as to expand the alloy but will this not tarnish the crank?
