Crap day stuck headset

[Tc]

Spanner by a spanner!

Going by the damage visible in the photo's I'd go as far as to guess it's a littler more than hand tight!

 

[Rampage]

Put wheel in it, hold between legs and use same spanner?

Thanks will report back tomorrow

Wondering why its picked up so badly - is it the same thread (French headset thread?)

Good luck with getting it off.

It is now now I've screwed it all the way down!
Should always use my dads old adage "if you have to force it it's wrong!"

That would probably kill the internal rubber seals & the Mavic decals.

Shove the lot in a bucket of hot water.

Lubrication ?

A thin oil like plus gas.

But aluminium and titanium are those kind of metals where I would always assemble with some kind of anti seizure grease.
