Campagnolo Ultra Torque bearings are pressed on to the crank spindles which are part of the arms. One bolt goes through the spindle to join the halves.

My friend had a 10mm Allen and I pulled it apart and soaked the bearing with WD 40 and forced it to turn with pliers. Seemed ok after that so I slapped it back together and we rode 45 miles with no issues. I suppose I should replace the bearing or something.
