in a word: _fuck_.
now I still have to figure out how to get this goddamned crank off using asymmetrical force
thinking about it I may’ve just discovered why this thing was abandoned originally
the middle gear is kinda fucked (as in needs replacing - bad teeth, a crack) and if they tried to pull the crank and fucked up the removal _then_, original owner may’ve been all “oh FUCK THIS” and got a newer better bike, probably something with an aluminium frame instead of steel for lower weight.
this is one of those times I wish I had a… wuzzut called… rober press? big screw, pushes a thing into (or out of) another thing. that’d be good here right?
it's not a rober press (or robur press spelt correctly) it's a ... fuck I can't remember. Kind of a screw press but instead of pressing plates together it just presses a little circle or something small into or out of another thing. Plus probably other stuff, idk. dang
@moira in Spain we call it mechanical extractor but I can't find the proper term in English https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extractor#/media/Archivo:Poelietrekker.jpg
@elrohir that's not what i was thinking of but it sure does look like it would work!
…and the agony of right side defeat.
