>>2019768>Are you doing that because the axle is siezed in the crank?Affirmative.
>It will come off with a long enough lever, ie, put a pipe over the end of your spanner.I think I have a pipe that would fit, but I don't have a way of clamping the rest of the crank in place. The nuts fastening the crank to the bike itself are also rusted to shit, so I can't just take it off and put it in a vice. The vice is in the corner of my garage so there's no room to put the bike itself in it, though I guess I could try to remove the vice and screw it to my deck or something. I whaled on it with a hammer earlier today and it didn't budge.
Also I'm de-rusting the other side at the same time. I'll leave it for a day like this, then blast it out with compressed air and spray in some penetrating oil, let it soak for a few hours, then whale on it again.
