Houseface Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 hey,im stuck on bb removal.....do you unscrew it one side and the whole thing comes out or do i have so undo both sides?steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 The drive side will have the whole bb shell, then the non drive side has a plastic/metal cup.Its easier to remove the driveside first then remove the non drive side cup. There is a how to on this somewhere in the nmc, although when putting it back in, don't use a tonne of grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseface Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 thanks,any pics or diagrams of how to? steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 a ratchet is easiest...and obviously you need the right tool. Make sure you get the isis version if it's isis (and the shimano pattern)...otherwise it won't fit (axle too fat/long..)take off the non-drive side first...unscrew by turning anticlockwise (bike upright). Then the drive side turning clockwise (i'm sure that's right...they tighten by turning towards the back end of the bike when it's upright)...put it in with a wee bit of grease...and clean it while you're there...job done.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Don't forget right-side's opposite threaded, for some reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Don't forget right-side's opposite threaded, for some reason...So it doesn't loosen itself when you pedal I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 So it doesn't loosen itself when you pedal I guess But if it was normal thread on the right and opposite left that'd make sense, 'cos then it'd be tightening with the pedal motion. However, opposite on right means that it would loosen if you pedalled, even though it woudln't anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
