psycholist Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 The XTR BB tool available off most online bike shops will fit that BB. Buy one and use it. Otherwise you'll just chew it up hammering at the notches, so it'll be unmovable even for people with the correct tool for it afterwards.

Muel Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 If you use mole grips, you will mash the shell to pieces. Just buy the right tool or go to the shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got a C spanner? They work! Otherwise, just buy the propper tool, its better than breaking it so its stuck in the frame for ever, and will be soooo much easier! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
