Guess that tool

Did anyone expect anything else?

Still prefer fire.

…you know the kind of friend who gets a bit aggro after a few pints, makes some bad acquaintances and starts mouthing off at security?

Have we met?

Was hoping for more of an elaborate puller but always happy to see a slide hammer be put to use!

Great tool, great job!
How did you restrain the frame - your feet and protection underneath the frame?

My colleague put one foot in the front triangle, one in the rear triangle, then held the toptube and seat cluster, giving 4 reasonably soft contact points.

The forces involved would have broken the frame if we'd clamped it by a tube or bb in the stand

I am also a big fan of combustion, but
the frame is burnier than the seatpost

Just because you value the frame more than the seat post it's really just a matter of perspective.

Good job really.

Perfect, team work makes the dream work!

I do wonder about hydraulic solutions - massive smooth force application or smaller shock inputs

 

[bikeworkshop]

Massive shock input was needed here. the smooth force would have broken whatever the equal and opposite end was attached to on the frame

I need something like this in my life. Stuck reverb in a carbon frame.

The tool is here
But the reverb will not survive

I'm not too fussed about saving the reverb, would be nice to, but not essential as frame is the bit I want to use.
