Back in the day with fixed and moveable BB cups, loose bearings, having to adjust how tight, and the need for special tools ( pin spanner, lock ring wrench, crank arm puller) it took a little savvy to work on a bb and crank.

With 2 piece mego exo cranksets and sealed bearing bb's its extremely easy. Just read the Park tool website.
