Ha yes did way too much googling in advance of trying the actual repair, but appreciate the pointer regardless. Starting with NDS regular right hand threaded at any rate!
Will try again stepping on the 32mm spanner with a headset cap and bolt through the tool and hope for the best. Should I install the new BB the same way? Do the cranks need to go on with equal leverage (I have one of those T-shaped 6mm allen keys with an 8mm attachment..)? Am supposed to be taking a long ride over the weekend and now unsure if I am willing to trust my own handiwork.. but will get the BB off first then see!
@MCamb we need to know the size of your banana for any proper understanding of this situation..
