I am not sure whether to try & fit myself or not ? is it easy to mess up fitting a new crank shaft & BB ?

Thanks..

i just did it...it was easy. the correct bolts should come with the crank set. you just need to make sure you get the right cranks for your bottom bracket; ie. ISIS splined, shimano Octalink, or square taper.

oh, and i think common bolt sizes are either M12 or M15...might want to check on compatability of this as well
