Removing Stripped BB Retainers
I have a ‘97 Trek 7000 with integrated sealed BB unit. This one has nylon plastic retainer rings and the one on the NDS is stripped to the point where the splines are broken off. I’ve been putting this off for the last 2 summers and now I know why

I love this bike frame so will have to be careful not to bugger up the fine threads. Any of you had to deal with this? I hate plastic for this. Cant wait to try the fixed side.
