Mark W Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 It's not grease that's the issue, the fact it's made out of plastic is the issue - using the brakes for trials with the TPA wound out basically forces it to cross thread and/or eat shit. You should be able to rag it around just using some mole grips or something similar. It is just plastic, so you just need to mash it around the threads enough to get the TPA pin to work its way out.
