Everything that left us on the way. This was after a hard battle with a frame that was really not worth it but its my moms old bike so yeah it‘s got emotional worth.
Everything on the bike came off super easy except the drive side crank arm, it woudln’t want to budge, stripped the threads in the crank and then held through every single pulley puller i could find in my shop. but as you can see at some point, when the grinder came out, it lost.
Anyways, somebody need a non driveside 170mm alivio crank arm ? xD

Nice 👍
If you don’t have one of these, I highly recommend getting one.

>Our Unior 1662/4 Square Tapered Crank Puller offers a feature that other pullers don’t: like the taper on the bottom bracket spindle, the threads that engage the crank have a taper as well. This taper helps the tool to engage damaged threads on the crank arm, making removal of otherwise nightmarish cranks easy.
I’ve used it to take off a stripped crank after I failed with a gear puller. Worked like nothing was wrong, I was a bit irritated with how easy it came off.
It seems no one won. But I’m glad you were able to have a bike again.
Good shit!

Oh god I thought to myself what were you hit by a bus!?
then I noticed the cutting wheel and was relieved.
Glad you’re okay mate and yes you did win!
Rest now sweet prince.
Holy crap
oof, been there a few times. last time i did this on a frame i accidentally sheared off part of the bb shell and couldn’t remove the bottom bracket anyway 🤦🏻♂️
Poor crank
Bruh needs a pickler
Bro just wanted to let some steam out his system. 😂 Jk. Glad you can fix the bike after this.
ffuck yeah!!!
Glad to see it was a disassembly struggle. When I first looked, didn’t see the cutting disc. Thought I was going to read about some super horrible failure while riding.
