Do you know what year this Peugeot is? If the bike is in good shape, chances are there is a white sticker underneath the bike, near the bottom bracket, that should list the year size and model of the bike. If this is like mine, a 1985 P8, then you could easily use an english threaded bottom bracket and crankset.
Because the bike is heavy at 26lbs, I did upgrade to an FSA Omega compact crank (50-34T). Helps with some of the steeper hills in my area.
I used a Park Tools HCW-5 to pull off one side of the original BB, but had to take the bike to my LBS to pull the other side off. I just didn't have the tools for it at the time.
