I am a fucking idiot.
Whilst rebuilding my sisters old shopper for the missus, I managed to thread the BB cups into the wrong sides thanks to my awesome strength and massive stubborness. The non drive is all the way in, after some swearing and plenty of slips of the spanner. The drive side is only half in, but I have destroyed the pin spanner getting it that far, as I popped an extender on there to get enough torque. I remembered they were a bugger to get out, so didn't consider that I was quite that much of a retard that I'd put them on the wrong fucking sides
I only realised what I had done after I had given up in a strop and thrown everything back in the shed.
I haven't owned up to it yet.
