Hey I think I've heard all the tricks for removing, and will problably be seeking an appropriately long pipe tomorrow, but I'd like your thoughts: Is it likely that I could damage the frame of my Saluki or the bottom bracket threads just by applying more leverage in an attempt to free the seized drive side cup? I hear the carbon and aluminum guys fretting about such things, but what are the chances with steel? If threads get stripped in the process, can they be re-chased in a reliable way? THe left side came off easily, but the drive side has proved tougher. I doubt soaking in oil will help, since the threads were only recently greased. It appears that the drive side really got torqued up a few weeks ago by a mechanic, who was hoping to take some play out of the cranks. But it seems the play REALLY was a faulty or failing cartridge, so now I need to remove and replace. Damn. I'm ready to get back on this bike, but don't want to mess it up.
