The Cyclo is in most "good" parts stores(not like Advance or AZ). You know, the ones that were around before the chains. But, I have seen it in Walmart.

if you can find a hardware store or welding shop that sells CRC products then that helps your chances of finding knock'er loose.

when i went to take my passenger hub off for the first time i popped the center cap out of the wheel and sprayed it then went to bed. a few hours later i went out there and when i took the wheel off there was a bunch of rust mixed in with the knock'er loose. then i put my breaker bar with the 3ft. cheater bar on it and had to use about the same amount of force to break it loose as i do picking up a 14lb bowling ball.

Damn, that's pretty impressive considering taking a hub nut off usually requires torching the nut till there is flames coming off of it.

I will definitely try give this stuff a try.

i have to use breaker bars because my little 6 gallon porter cable won't push a big impact like that. not for longer than a couple seconds anyway.

No. My add-a-leaf was shorter than the other leaves, it didn't extend out to the bands, it went between the leaves, and the overload spring. What kind did you buy?

i started yesterday but only got about 45 minutes into it before i had to go somewhere. i finished it up today.
you can see in the second picture that the axle didn't want to line up with the springs so i had to convince it with some straps.
the pictures lie about the height too, the right tire is on a hump and it has the axle leaning down toward the left side. maybe i should get some pictures in the sunlight on level ground.
