So true!
A lot of repairs can be done with some very basic tools and a little research. Took me forever to finally get a bike stand, but after I did it made a world of difference (but that's another topic for another thread).
I'm curious to hear which method ended up working. Seems to me putting your foot in and step-twisting out would be the ticket.
