I'd try the BMX forum. BMX cranks and bottom brackets are different. Most of the advice that you're going to get here is going to be wrong.

A few suggestions:
- Try using meaningful thread titles. REALLY!
- Stay in school.
- Acquire a keyboard whose punctuation keys are operational.
- Return to the forums where you've posted your request to check your messages and the thread for responses. when you say "email me at....." I stop reading immediately. The operating idea is that this is a discussion forum. Sometimes I can find my problems in someone else's dialogue by the search function, and I don't make an ass of myself.
- Get a good spam filter...

Good luck with your bike!

ASAP you say? Take the bike to the nearest bike shop. Hopefully you can convey your problem to them effectively, and they will fix it for you, ususally for a sum of money.
