My bottom bracket has some play in it, resulting in a clunk that I can hear and feel in my legs. I'd like to tighten and/or inspect it for worn bearings. To do so, I will need to remove my cranks. Do I just use a standard socket wrench (I have one)? After I remove my cranks, I will need to (a) tighten or (b) remove and inspect and reinstall the bb. I contacted the manufacturer of my bike and they gave me this info about the bb:
This means it has an english thread (afaik).


What tools will I need to accomplish this? I would like to get this done for as little money as possible.

I could go to the bike co-op, but I'd like to have tools for this.
