Issues installing BB7400
Hey. I just picked up a NOS Shimano DA BB-7400 and I ran into an issue with installing one of the cups. I need some six pin spanner and then possibly a Park BBT-7? Can someone tell me what kind of tool is needed to install that cup? Thanks!

Okay, the tool you need is the HCW-4.
The HCW 5 will do the black lockring, but I think the BBT 7 will as well.
EDIT: to Clarify, the HCW 5 or BBT 7 will do that cup. The other cup will need the HCW 4.

Thank you! One more thing. I have a 109mm spindle but both sides looks exactly the same. It's unmarked so I had no idea which side is which. Would it just be trial and error with chainline or did I overlook something?

it's always a matter of trial and error with me, even if i know all the dimensions of the spindle. it's just too quick and easy to swap the spindle and try again if one side doesn't work out, for me.
