thirsktrials Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 i was tightening my bottom bracket up and all the little splines the tool noches into just snapped off, the bb is tight enough to ride with and there is still like a little bit off the bracket sticking out so wud i be able to maybe grip this with mole grips or something to twist it out or would a cycle shop like cowleys or halfords have a better chance!!!

theom Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Have a go with the mole grips, just remeber that the drive side cup is anti-clockwise thread so turning it clockwise will undo it. Other side is just normal thread. Edited August 1, 2009 by theom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
