Removing a Stuck Seatpost Using Chemistry
มุมมอง 2.5K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Mixing an unholy concoction of water and sodium hydroxide to melt a stuck aluminium seatpost from a steel frame. THIS METHOD IS GUARANTEED TO WORK! Recipe: 1 litre COLD water 400 grams of sodium hydroxide - also knows as caustic soda or lye, which you can easily buy online. It's basically a drain cleaner. Method. Add the powder to the liquid (NOT the other way round!) and ensure it's mixed. Mak...

    Just to let you know I did mine today and same thing happened to me with the nuts just going round so cut them off like you did. I found it easy to do, my trick was to remove the rear box from the axle end, slide it out from the bumper end, then you have bags of room to cut the nuts with the dremel.

  • @ln1577
    @ln1577 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Congratulations, it's good that you finally succeeded, and only small losses around. My memories - a few words: This method is effective. The scenario presented here is very dangerous. The reaction is highly exothermic. The solution may foam and bubble for hours. Hydrogen is released. It's worth being outdoors. But how to protect cats, hedgehogs, birds and children from getting burned? The solution should be replenished from time to time because the process takes a very long time, which means that checks must be made. After etching, you need to have easy access to running water to rinse the frame perfectly. And then dry it thoroughly, clean our tube with a wire brush on a drill, remove filings, and finally pour oil over the frame and protect it against corrosion... The best thing that happened to me was that before digestion, I met a plumber who showed me his hands. They were full of sodium hydroxide scars. When fire burns us, we feel pain immediately. The hydroxide we use burns gently. But deep. I cut off the seatpost at the top, glued a kind of funnel on it, and sealed the area around the pipe from the bottom, on the bottom bracket side. Thanks to this, the mud fell down and I could conveniently pour the newly added liquid from the top. In the funnel, the solution boiled like soup and splattered. Previous attempts with a punch, two car jacks, pouring kerosene or heating were not effective... If two or three days with WD-40 or kerosene do not help, it is worth dissolving it immediately with hydroxide.

    • @PiersWebster
      @PiersWebster 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, it's nasty stuff. That's why I kept the solution relatively week and took around 5 days, changing the solution every 24 hours. It still fizzes and makes a mess though!

    Had a similar problem but found the bumper bolt had unscrewed, just needed a bit of WD40 and persuasion to drop out. If you do the front bumper its more of a faff because the the fronts of the two air ducts will drop down, and you have to line them up as you slide the bumper back on. Might need 2 folk at the rear to get the bumper into both side retainer slides. Maybe thought about just a steam clean and lanocare spray?

    • @PiersWebster
      @PiersWebster 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, sadly the nearside rear bolt was completely welded in on mine. Managed to get it it all off and back on regardless as you saw. Definitely a faff though! I'm trying to avoid the front one unless I need to. No compelling reason to do it at this stage but good advice - thanks!

      Thanks - not doing anything like that on a super-hot day again! Top tip. Get a breaker bar extension onto your spanner for those top bolts as soon as you can. I couldn't get my socket breaker bar in there hence the double spanner trick! Also, if you cut your bushes out with a reciprocating saw as I did, go easy - I ended up cutting into the A frame as well. Good luck! Shocks and springs next.

  • @Saaketti
    @Saaketti ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi. In last summer I welded the exactly same spot on my x308 xjr at the rear door arc. Reason why the paint is bubbling is because under that metal plate there is empty cavity. That cavity is filled up with some black nasty wet goo. The goo has dried out over the years and there is moisture now eating up the metal inside out. You need to replace the metal and find out the condition of the sill metal. Sill does continue under the bubbling paint metal. You said that there is filler because someone has replaced the sill. No. It is factory made. Like is the 3cm thick seam sealer at the firewall, inside sill and floor connection corner.. 😄

    • @PiersWebster
      @PiersWebster ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting. Thanks for letting me know. I did manage to get my Bilt Hamber "wand" insertet through the holes for the screws. I dumped half a can into the cavity until it was spilling out of the sill at the bottom. I know it won't fix it but i'm hoping it will arrest any further spread until next summer!

    • @Saaketti
      @Saaketti ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep. The thing is that the sill top part is rotting under the goo. But the bottom could be still intact. I had to replace top portion of the sill under that bubbled metal plate and while there was a gaping hole I could look in to the sill and there were no rust at the bottom. I can sent you a pictures from google photos if you want to see what I mean.

    Nice, I have a very similar frame, except it has down tube shifter bosses. Columbus Brain tubing is very light, although lugless looks a bit too much like an aluminium frame. The entire rear triangle and the down tube are chromed on these, including the bottom bracket area, do it makes for a great protection against rust. Mine is being repainted in PDM colours at present
