That depends. What's the make/model/year of your frame?

If you're wanting to keep your current BB, but fit a new crank you need to remove the cranks and measure spindle length or remove BB also and look at markings on the BB to determine spindle length, most Shimano BBs from the past 15+ years have a sticker on them indicating spindle length.
