t.o.

i need to take out two bottom brackets and two headsets so i can get two frames resprayed......

one is a splined bb, i don't have a picture but i think it is fairly standard 1980s bb arrangement. (1980s Nigel Dean something or other touring bike)

one is an older frame, early 1970s i think, Holdsworth, the bb is different.

I also need to take off the headsets, including the races - because i am a giant my head tube on the nigel dean is about 10" long, and i don't have a screwdriver/piece of suitable metal long enough to hammer the races out...

shit explanations, and no photos = apologies. - can i borrow the necessary please/can someone help me?

I work at cannon st, live at waterloo, and would really like to sort it out tonight, so i can be riding again next week...!

thanks

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
