Seized! Help....

[GoatBeard]

Having trouble getting to my headset bearing on my Subway. There's a washer that's completely seized on, I've tried WD40ing it and I've tried prying it out with a flathead but it's chewing up the metal work. Any suggestions?

Large mole grip or plumbers wrench.

Isn't that a compression washer ?

Have you taken the fork out totally?

 

[GoatBeard]

Yes, and in the end there wasn't much to do apart from cleaning it and relubing it. Didn't make any difference to the squeaking I was trying to eliminate, fairly sure the it's the bearings in the pedals are toast.

If you had a replacement one I would have filed it till it broke . I guess you did not have a spare.
