This is taking a while and it's a bit more frustrating than I was counting on. First I had an issue with removing the bottom bracket. I tried the bolt and nut trick:
But that was no good. Couldn't move it an inch, so took it to the lbs and again more frustration. We broke two spanners and couldn't get it moved, so the only solution was to use the cup and put together a cup and ball bb.
This might do the trick, still need to grease and get the right spindle measurement before finishing it up. Second hand bottom bracket costed me £6 on ebay so not so bad after all.
