Ok long story short, went down on the left side of my Uly, and the framepuck took most of the beating. I was wondering if anyone knew a easy way to remove the frame puck so i can put a new one on. Its not that damaged, but it looks horrible. Perhaps ill take steel wool to the right side to even it out.  | ||

Ok ill try it. No magic trick like dipping the bike in acid or putting it in an oven for an hour? | ||

OK Froggy - If you run into trouble, a heat gun can soften the glue. Just heat it to where it's hot to the touch - DON'T overdo it. If it peels off without heat or some secret sauce, so much the better, OK? OK! | ||

I think in the service manual it says to mark the outline of the old one before removal. This should help you align the new one. What to mark it with I don't know. Maybe a grease pencil. | ||

Thanks for the tips, the old one was coming off pretty easy, ill use the heatgun if it gets stubborn. A pencil sounds like a good idea, ill go and try a few different things to mark it. TY again guys! | ||

Mark the edges with masking tape. You don't have to 'erase' it then. Just run a strip next to each edge before you take the old one off. | ||

The instructions that come with the pucks say to soak with Isopropyl Alcohol and then pull to remove. I would guess that Goof Off might work also. | ||

WD-40 might work as well. Gotta love those citrus based solutions, they'll keep your bike smelling good for weeks. |
