Hi Fred,

Congratulations on getting your headset apart!

I have use an order of operations that helps me disassemble bikes. I don't know if you did it in this order or not.

When I am beginning to dis-assemble a bike, I start with the headset. While the whole bike is still together, it is easier to get the headset loose. With the bike on the ground, the front wheel between my knees, one hand on the handlebar and one hand on the headset wrench, I loosen the headset. If the bike has already had the front wheel and gooseneck removed it is much harder to get the leverage and control to loosen the headset. If the headset does not loosen, I don't continue dis-assembly. I apply penetrating oil, and walk away and wait. Once the headset is loose, I then remove the pedals and then loosen the gooseneck from the fork while the handlebar is still in place. Once loose, I tighten the gooseneck, remove the handlebar, and then remove the gooseneck.

If you did not do it in this order, try it next time. It helps a lot.

Hello Chris,

I tried that way first. It gives me good leverage to twist. I filled the entire steering tube with PB blaster. I had the frame upside down and filled the fender hole. Nothing leaked out. It was filled for the entire month!! The wedge and bolt came right apart!! But the nut holding the goose neck was frozen solid.
It is all apart now!! Time to finish cleaning and lubing the headset and to start working on wheels!!!

Sorry about that Yes, The nut on top was frozen solid. The Tapered Threaded nut that rests below it was loose .
