Wood stops any damage the hammer would cause. That'll shift it as they tend to get a bit rusted in. Not too much as the Bushnell is stainless. Then you should be able to use a pin spanner or allen keys to rotate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-9242144167041466102008-09-19T20:01:00.000+01:002008-09-19T20:01:00.000+01:00Yes it is a GF, I have undone it past the two tigh...Yes it is a GF, I have undone it past the two tight points but it won't shift. i found out last time that if I get the crank off I can use a tool that tightens the bottom bracket to get it to move and its fine, it obviously needs greasing!<BR/><BR/>Tom if you want you can send me a new singlespeed without a EBB ;)triohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10136331702567336557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-89933497844596792152008-09-19T19:55:00.000+01:002008-09-19T19:55:00.000+01:00Bloody road tyres!

Last time I had one on a ride it took me 40 minutes to get the tyre back on (got it off ok) and I covered my face in crap off the rims whilst doing it. Got loads of funny looks riding back and when I got home I realised I looked like a commando in full face paint. I changed my last tyres in the comfort of my lounge, took ages but I resisted the temptation to throw the wheels across the room. There is a big oily mark on the rug from it, I deny it was me!Julbagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169875926076765885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430458523940018010.post-47279331304295055802008-09-19T19:41:00.000+01:002008-09-19T19:41:00.000+01:00IIRC it's a Gary Fisher that has a Bushnell EBB in...IIRC it's a Gary Fisher that has a Bushnell EBB in it.<BR/>You need to undo the set screw in the EBB (4mm I think) and undo it past 2 tight points.<BR/>Then wallop it with a rubber mallet or a hammer and a block of wood to make it budge.<BR/>Or kick it with your heel (with a sturdy shoe on).<BR/>Then when you retighten it you have to do it more than you think. Worth taking the allen key on the ride just in case you don't do it up enough that first time.<BR/><BR/>I avoid EBBs now.
