seized Judy's saga

I have to say, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for them though. :?

Cheers buddy. Worst case scenario I will sell the brace, steerer, and top caps to claw back some funds.

 

[development_cycle]

well after all the advice and a little persistence, I have managed to get them apart

However, they are completely f****d

Trying to track down another pair, or parts to get these going again.

ok so thanks to a member on here I now have a replacement set of inner and outer legs

Tried to remove the old ones and one of the bolts on each side of the crown that holdes the inner legs in place has rounded on the inside where the allen key goes, so I can't undo them.

What is the best way to remove them? saw a slot and use a driver? Getting close now but not quite close enough

 

[cherrybomb]

Either that or file some flats on them and use mole grips I guess.

mm, I have an impact driver which I reckon will do the job, so the question is do I saw one slot and use a flat, or two slots crossed and use a crosshead? I though about filing the sides, but the likelihood of damaging the crown is quite high I think, also I reckon they have been over tightened anyway so I don't reckon they'll come off by hand alone.

 

[cherrybomb]

I'd just cut one slot then, good and deep, down to the bottom of the socket if poss, but wide enough that the impact bit goes right down to the bottom.

 

[development_cycle]

Sounds good. I'll update on my progress then.
