Title: Help sealed BB removal
Post by: FastFarrel on July 10, 2015, 05:21 PM

Got a set of redline cranks twin pinch for my  om flyer, but I can't figure out how to get the factory fitted sealed bb out! There's no room to punch one side out because the sleeve is in place?

It's not a massive issue at the old bb fits the new spindle, but I'm guessing the redline bb will be better than the factory fitted bb!

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated before I go all out hulk style on it😁

if you're not that fussed about saving the bearings that are in there then move the spacer so it's halfway across the bearings and hole then hit it with a socket extension bar......move it around so it pushes them out.
