I also add "give me a big enough level, and I could move the world." The rest of the bike was relatively pain free to disassemble. I had to take the heat gun to the pedals, but they came out, and the BB was almost hand tight...maybe the heat on the pedals got to the bb. There's a little surface rust on the brakes, and the chainrings need to come off, and be replaced. Par for the course.
