Done.
Doesn't seem like too many steps to me.
I'm well familiar with UT, hence my statement. You are, of course, entitled to
your opinion.
1) specific tool to reach bolt in middle of crank (socket mounted hex key, extender, breaker bar or ratchet wrench). Doubly so for the Spec. crank...
2) wavy washer to set crank pre-load
3) poor bearing sealing
4) several steps to remove/install, versus: insert spindle, tighten retaining bolt
Ultra Torque was, and remains to be, a solution searching for a problem.
