Finally riding a big boys bike
I have an original paint, Elgin Twin 20, Murray-built frame, and I'm fairly sure the crank nut has never been removed. I have sprayed this nut, off and on, for months with Aero Kroil penetrating oil.
First off... I would like to have someone confirm that this crank nut is reverse thread. The only tool I have to try unscrewing this crank nut is a large crescent wrench. But with increased pressure, it "slips" off the nut where the two grooves are.
Does anyone have advice on what I could try next? Should I try heating the nut?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
