Work out exactly what you want to say. Get a mate to play sales clerk and run it past him a time or two to work out the bugs.
Be very clear about why you want to return the bike and what you expect in return. Is there another bike in stock that would satisfy you, etc.
Are you willing to pay the shop a restocking fee? It would not be to much for them to ask, as they now have a bike that has been worked on by you, or others, as it sounds like you have had the cranks off and the bottom bracket apart.
Just some thoughts from my end.
At the very least, stay calm, friendly, relaxed, but go in with a clear plan of what your expectations are and be willing to be a bit flexible.
Best of luck.
