Travis, Thanks for the link. I took the liberty of uploading this file to the Yahoo group files <http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/trekybikes/files/> since...
Hello there TrekYbikers. I did a google search and found this group and thought you might be interested in this. I have a classic 1994 Trek Y22 size small for...
Hi, I am trying to convert my 1997 Y-33 to rear disc brake. I thank you for your info about the A2Z product. It's a little hard to get but I think I...
That is a small (16") frame of the 1998-1999 era. The main part of the frame looks like a late 1998 Y33 with all the stickers removed. No other 1998-1999...
Having looked at that bike, it looks in very good condition and originality aside, a lot of the components are very sought after by collectors. If you have the...
Team: I have been trying to remove my shock to have it serviced, but the front bolt; the one in the Y of the frame; will not come out. The bolt spins freely,...
... You got the nut and washer off the bolt? If so, just lightly tap the bolt out with a small hammer. If you have to swing more than 4 or 5 inches, there's...
Hmmm... Even with some nice "love taps", that bolt should come right out. Is there any chance the bolt is slightly bent? It would have to of been one hell of...
Chris: The bolt spins very easily. It seems like something is keeping it from coming out; which would be the bushings. The bolt doesn't appear to be bent....
Are the threads catching on the hole? The free spinning bolt makes me think their may be a burr on the threads or on the hole, perhaps even in the shock...
Bryan: Thanks man! I really appreciate it! I tried pulling the bolt out with some vise grips, but that didn't work either. It may be time to take it into my...
Try letting all the air out of the shock, then tap the bolt out. Idealy nothing should bind. It should be a 6mm bolt unless the previous owner try to force...
Stupid question of the day...can you post two pics of the problem from both sides of the frame? As close up as possible? That alone may help answer the...
I had this issue as well when I swapped the Strata shock for my Fox Vanilla on the Y33. I took it to a LBS I trusted, and watched the procedure (while...
Thanks Brian. That sounds just like what has happened here. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T ... From: briansz123456 <briansz123456@...> Date: Tue, 16 Jun...
I think you should try screwing it out, with something like the device you use to break the chain on your bike. For far less strain is given to your frame in...
A home remedy similar to Bert's idea would be a large C-clamp and an extra large socket that is wider than the entire head of the bolt. You could use the two...
I work at a local trek dealer and if you got the nut and washer off the only thing holding it is age! place 2 blocks of wood under the frame stralding the bolt...
I got it of google image, as I didn't knew the translation. I'd though it be clearer adding some visual explanation. It's from a Dutch shop, so it won't be...
Mtndave and everyone: You are awesome! Thank you for all of your suggestions. I am headed to taiwan for the rest of the week and will try these when I get...
auto zone sells then and so dose sears but i don't think you can get one small enough to do the job  ________________________________ From: Bert Begeman...
try the liquid wrench while you are gone when you get back it may be laying there on the floor!!! really good stuff ________________________________ From:...
Sorry Bert I didn't mean to send that to you only, I also did not mean to say a gear puller would not work. Assuming you can jerryrig the puller onto the head...
Hey Bryan, no problems. Your consern of a oversized bolt through a undersized hole I share. But hammering it out is my last option, as mentioned. I think...
Hello, If I get the A2Z brake adapter for my 1997 Y-33 what is the specific rotor (i.e. 160mm) and the brake adapter that fits this build? I saw that you used...
