so im taking the bb out this morning (its a hollowtech II) and the left side pops off no problem. then i go for the right side, and after reefing on it for 30min (bb tool in vice, frame on bb tool and hanging off the frame... im 170lb and i had about 60cm of levrage on it) i started to take the vice out of the work bench. i broke an 8mm allen key (for one of my hollowtech tools) and bent the other tool. and the frame is still holding on tight. looks like the whole bb casing is rusted out, and the bb was cross threaded AND no grease. -1000x10^99999999 to broadway for that less then classy performance.
any store in town got a hollowtech II road bb in stock for cheap?
I don't want to sound like a ****bag, but this is why I like doing work myself, except when its just out of my technical abilities (wheel building). Sure you may not have some tools, but I'm sure anyone here would gladly lend you tools.
Look like its time to step up to an NJS outfit with Dura-Ace cranks!
