Bikes: old ones

.
...just an additional heads up: When you get to the part where you're reassembling the cranks, you often need to file the tapers on the cotters you buy to something similar to the taper on the old ones, so save at least one of them, and match the new ones accordingly.

Also, you press them in, don't try to pull them in using the fixing nuts or you will strip the threads before they are properly seated.
