• Shit, fair point. I didn't build it and I'm not sure I can take the BB off to check.

    Cranks should come off with allen key, BB might be GXP - does that use BB9 tool?

  • BB might be GXP

    FSA should be MegaExo, which is near enough identical to Shimano HT2 to work on apart from some cranks being self-extracting rather than having pinch bolts. There is a wave washer for bearing preload on the self extracting variants, and they vary between having the axle permanently attached to the NDS or DS crank, so on this occasion you might actually have to RTFM 🙂

  • Cheers, I know there's a 10mm allen key bolt on the NDS of these cranks. I know this because we needed a "10mm stick" tool to tighten them up when they fell off on a ride somewhat recently. So, removing the cranks should be no drama. I have a couple of BB tools so I'm hoping one of them will fit whatever BB it is.

  • Crank is off. Although not sure why it has a Tighten direction that is the direction needed to loosen the cranks. Maybe tighter refers to the outer ring of pin spanner shit for the self-extract mechanism. Been so long since I've used self-extractor cranks.
