Lawnmowerman Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 They're not warrantied if they've been ridden loose. Just get some loctite and go mental with a breaker bar. If that fails get some new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andeee Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hey it could be that your threads of the bottom bracket are wearing down take your crank off and have a look at your bottom bracket. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
