Is it possible to get just the shaft without any of the other hardware? The bike is a Schwinn Sidewinder.
Edit: I don't think it'll help because my bike is too new to be in a database, but here's the serial number: SNMNG11A9137. None of you are nerdy enough to be able decode the serial number are you? I think I found Schwinn's code book, but my serial number is too new to be in it.😥
Why does the post I made after this one need to be approved by a moderator?
There are other methods that can be used top remove the crank arm if the threads are stripped. Google "remove stripped bike crank arm" also search for threads on here as well.
