Any indication what the insert material is? Did you consider the suggestion that the insert is pinned in by something like the cable guide screw? (Or pin mught be painted over.)
Have you considered the cost/benefit analysis?
Reduced pics (luv me some Windows7), now we'll see about inserting a couple.
The insert appears a lot like steel, and there aint no cable guides unnerneath the shell.
Cost-benefit is not in the equation like it would be for a more worthy cause. As long as the cost is "cheap" and the benefit is "hey hun look what I did "all by myself for cheap", I'm good with it. The tools acquired along the way will doubtless see future use (although I doubt there are many more square taper cranks in my future hehe). But by the time it's the future, I'll have this "experience" lol. By the way, it was RIDING on the destroyed original BB that caused the ugliness on the perimeter of the shell (it was NOT me wailing on things with a hammer and punch, although I did do a little of that - Sucker didn't budge, so for the sake of the threads I stopped with the hammering.
