Hello,
I have real trouble removing the shims as I'm trying to measure their thickness. Using the right tools to depress the bucket and shim is spinning freely but not coming out. I used a dental tool, compressed air, tapping on it. No luck. Working on two bikes simultaneously with same issues. I had dealt with it once before and also had a struggle (same procedures and shims eventually came out but it took way too long). Does anybody know of any other tricks? Thanks in advance!
