I've just got a (very good value) carbon fork from ebay and am trying to replace the steel fork on my virtuoso with it. However I cannot for the life of me get the crown race off of the old fork. It's only 6 months old but I'm increasingly convinced it's irretrievably rusted on. Does anyone have a winning tip on how to get the damned thing off? I've tried soaking it in WD40 and tapping around it using a screwdriver and a hammer. Well, a pocket knife and a wrench, my flatmate keeps a spare double bed (?!?) in the hallway so I can't get to most of my tools.
This is beginning to drive me mental, feeling as if I'm falling victim to the shoddy construction of my bike again.
