sorry, if i'm stepping on any toes, but bike maintenance
isn't rocket science. plus most people in the ss/fg are
dealing with one gear and perhaps no freewheel.
Dude, I know how to change the oil in my car. But, I'd still rather pay $15 to let someone else do it in 20 mins.
No, bike maintenance isn't rocket science but rebuilding a BB is definitely in the Advanced and not beginner section of the book. Disassembling a BB just doesn't come up that often.
