Finally riding a big boys bike
The head set is completely stuck on this rusted 68 Schwinn Stingray Deluxe. The locknut etc. just will not budge. I started with an adjustable wrench and WD40, upgraded to a pipe wrench and PB Blaster. Tried a bigger pipe wrench. Ive let it sit after spraying it multiple times and soaking it. I’ve used a torch to heat it up. I was finally able to remove the stem bolt after striking it with a mallet, heating it with a torch, using PB Blaster over and over again as I moved the bolt slightly each time. It finally began moving and came off. The head set and stem are a different story though.
Any bright ideas for me to try? I thought about soaking the whole thing in evaporust for like a week. I attached pictures of it if it helps.
