RADsters,
Alright, I may not be a Noob here anymore, but I am stripping my first OPC down, so in that sense I am a Noob, I guess? :idiot2:
So, I need some input, please:
1. Which way do you screw the Drive Side Bearing Crown to undo it and remove it from the OPC? ???
2. Is the Crown separate to the Hex adjacent to the inside of the Drive Side, or is it all one piece? :-\
3. How the fook do you do it without an appropriately sized flat spanner to fit onto the Hex between the Crown and Spider? :'(
4. Where the fook do you get an appropriately sized flat spanner if there is no answer to question 3 above? :tickedoff:
Help, please, peeps? :angel:
Thanks,
Clean.

Is this a standard looseball opc bottom bracket you taking a part :-\
If so the hex nut and the race are separate and are both left hand thread so righty loosey - lefty tighty.
The race on the spider side is right hand thread so righty tighty - left loosey.
Large adjustable spanner, alligator wrench or mole grips.

Rich, don't embarrass yourself on a public forum mate.
Call me and I will do that for you - embarrass you of course, not help you..... ;-)
Mole grips or follow Jim's instructions and bring it to the Boardroom this weekend. You may recognise a few people there from photos you've seen...... Not saying it's been a long time, but when was the last time you actually RODE your ramp bike?
The race against the back of the spider is a normal thread so undo it anti-clockwise.
Oh, and what Rick said....... ;-D

Yes, Rick-ster... rode them, I did not dismantle and rebuild them; that's a pastime for forty-somethings, like us! :daumenhoch:
