1997 Bontrager Privateer S Utter shed project bike!

I think PlusGas is more powerful than WD-40. I'm too poor to have experience of Chris King headsets, but again you shouldn't have actual serious rust, even though the cheap fork has a steel steerer and it is a good fit for the steel bearing cases. Again I would soak in PlusGas for a few days. Full force hammering with your right hand can't really harm the frame provided you hold the top tube with your left. Don't clamp the frame though! Your left hand is the damping mechanism.
 
I'm afraid to say that I'm giving up on this project. I peeled a big sticker off the seat tube to reveal a nasty split. The frame/headset/forks are still as one and will probably end up on eBay along with the wheels. :roll:
