Reply to comment by GoodGoodGoody in How do I remove a stuck bolt holding my bike's kickstand in place? by S_Orbital

So then you'd know you should be able to flip the bike upside down and cut the bottom bracket off from the underside, right?

Yet you have no issue with the blow torch idea (grease, paint, rubber, fire, etc.)?

I'm here to give ideas and try to be helpful, not hold hands.

You have a great day now.

I know

  • The bottom bracket, pedal arms and wheel are in the way, even from underneath

  • even if you remove the wheel the irregular shape of the bottom half of the kickstand makes grinding difficult and will lead to skipping the disc in inexperienced hands

I’ve done this exact repair several times. You haven’t a clue what you’re talking about or how to do this repair efficiently, safely, or without risk of collateral damage.

Further, not sure where you got the dumb idea that I agree with the torch idea. If you could read I actually said it was unnecessary.

Have a great day yourself.
