Ah, that’s all super-helpful thanks
The bearings don’t feel too bad, slightly notchy but when I dropped the bb into the frame last night and popped a chainset on to start looking at chain lines, the thing spins really nicely - so might not need so much attention
But I might try and find that six pin pinthing anyway, just out of interest:)

The Mavic pin tool engaged all six holes at the same time. If you managed to undo a side with a normal pin tool, you were lucky. It is over 30 years since I replaced the bearings in a Mavic BB and the exact details are a little hazy. Unless the bearings are actually shot, just let them run. Anything else is silly.
