does anyone know if a titanium frame can be heated to aid removal of a seized bottom bracket without damage to the frame?

    to a degree.

    but first soak in plus gas. make sure you are turning the correct way.

    them fit tool in a vice- and turn the frame.

    Get LBS to do it then if anything goes wrong...

    Heat would as always be my last option.
