what tools for this BB?
2003 Bianchi Eros with Veloce cranks
A few times I've noticed a slight creak going up steep hills, and it's probably years overdue for lube in the BB.
Any favorite youtube videos on how to take down this BB?
thanks!

Can't help with a video, but it's pretty straight forward.
The cranks are typical square taper. You remove the bolt with an 8mm hex key, then remove the crank with a crank remover.
Then the BB is a cartridge type unit which isn't serviceable (Campagnolo ACH type). The BB is removed with a tool that's a ring with 6 driving tabs which match the cutouts in the flanges of your BB. Park makes one -- the BBT-4.

No, the crank bolts of that era have a built in flange which doubles as a dust cap or protector for the remover threads.
