I'm just about to attempt to remove mine. I fear I may be in the shits though because it's an oldish Raleigh. Can I bypass this http://www.parktool.com/products/bigpicture.asp?picture=spr_HCW_5645_2008114_1397.JPG For the hammer and screwdriver approach?
Also, NFI what to look for in a new BB. Would just an English threaded one be ok? I don't think it's the dreaded 26 tpi as there isn't an eyelet on the dropout. It does however have one a bit further up on the frame.
