WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS TRY VARIOUS SIZED HAMMERS....YES A RUBBER HAMMER USED SPARINGLY WILL LOOSEN RUST OF 50 YEARS OR MORE....HOWEVER KEEP USING THAT SPRAY CAN OF WD-40 AND ALL WILL EVENTUALY WORK ITSELF FREE TO DISASEMBLE....SIGNED SON OF FRED FLINTSTONE

I have been trying to attach vintage Schwinn lights & speedometer to my '54 Panther.
Anyone got a link to setting up the ole Schwinn Approved French Speedometer/Odometer?
The unit itself is gorgeous old chrome, and reads 3137 miles.
While we're at it: how in the H%*# do I remove my handlebars & stem, to install the Schwinn Approved headlight.
I've done my damndest to carefully break it down, WD40 etc. The stem & bars will not budge loose! AHRRRGH…

HEY HEY THIS IS HENRY WITH A TIME TESTED REMEDY FOR YOUR CONDITION....USE A RUBBER HAMMER AND LOTS OF WD-40.. IT WILL LOOSEN THE RUST OF THE AGES IS YOU ARE PATIENT....IT WORKED FOR FRED FLINTSTONE AND WILL WORK FOR YOU...JUST MAKE SURE IT IS A BIG ENOUGH RUBBER MALLET SO AS NOT TO SCUFF THE METAL....SIGNED FRED OF THE AGES
