Hey all,

My bottom bracket took a louder turn for the worse. So I decided to change it. After taking off the cranks, noticed loose bearings from the bracket.

So far I've been able to take the sleeve off of the non drive side of the bracket. But having a heck of a time getting the drive side of this bracket to loosen.

I have put the bracket tool onto the BB and screwed it in with a bolt in order to keep it on rather than having it constantly slipping as I try to get this to loosen it's grip. But it seems like I can stand on my wrenches and it will still not loosen. I've pounded on my wrenches with a hammer and also doused the non drive side with wd 40 hoping maybe it will go in and loosen up a bit.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to loosen this thing up? I'm about to give up and just take it to the LBS to have them do this.

By the way, yes, I am trying to loosen it up clockwise.

Thanks!
