hey hoonz,
the square receptacle is still fairly square but for the chipping around its edge, which isn't that big...maybe 1mm at its widest points...its now been reinstalled with loads of grease, but I'm still getting a creak (not as pronounced as before, but still there)
p.s - About the tightening advice; I was talking to a mech at my LBS yesterday and he told me that creaks can be caused by ***over ***tightening stuff...! However, he couldnt diagnose my problem unless it got booked in for a total service..and even then he might not find the source of da creak >_<
man I wish I purchased a more expensive, quality crankset now..
