For the record, name-calling is against the forum rules. And that should be "you're", not your.

Apparently installing a BB would be a master-mechanic level job for you. That's unfortunate. Tech docs are written for a reason, so people installing **** don't **** it up using the wrong procedure or incorrect specs.

I'm sorry if I came across as a master mechanic, i'm not. But I do know how to read installation instructions. With the difficulty scale you present, i'm surprised you didn't crack any tires when inflating them.
