Patience, Grasshopper, patience...and plenty of lube!

Seriously, though, impatience kills more parts than all other causes combined. I've cut off pedals before, but I've never met a stem I couldn't beat...given time.

I tried 4 different spray cans over the last week and it wouldn't budge.. After 6 hours of ATF and acetone it finally came out!! :thumbsup:

I absolutely LOVE that witch's brew--it works...and it's cheap enough that one needn't feel stingy about applying it. I blend mine 50/50 in one of those old-fashioned ketchup bottles with a pointy tip. Just don't squirt it on your french fries!

I tried WD-40, PB blaster, Kroil and Rocket oil to no avail.

The ATF acetone 50/50 looks and smells just like Gibb's, I will never use anything else.

I hope others will take your experience as a testimonial. It's hard to argue with success. I suppose now you're glad you didn't jump straight to the cutting?
