I"ve just obtained an old Raleigh 3sp and after a few days of riding around one of the Crank Arms has become slightly loose. you can just feel the movement as the crank arm swings over.
So how can I tighten them up? do I need to take it in somewhere with a Cotter Press? Can I just wack it in a bit with a hammer and tighten up the nut?
Do I need to remove it completely and File it smooth and stick it back in?
Whats going to be the easiest way to fix it up?
