OK, So I have just started my journey to restore my bike. Had huge issues just getting the rear wheel off. The spindel was super-stuck. Had a neighbor come by with a tourch and we super heated it out.When I got the bike, the wheel were locked up as well. Finally got them loose. Boy, those brakes are in BAAADDD shape.
So, baby-step-wise, I got it to where I can push it around! yay!. For that is a big step. And now I've learned that stuborne bolts can sieze up and sometime require a little "extra" incentive to get loose.
alos, reading someother posts, Baggies is a great idea. I think I'll go get some of those and get a bit more organized before I tear into the rest of the bike.
