Title: Sideways movement in crank......
Post by: MINI_BURNER on June 07, 2008, 01:16 PM

As you can tell by all the questions I'm new to OS BMX!! 

Right then, my next problem is that there is movement in my 1 piece crank.  How do I go about tightening it?  There appears to be a flat faced nut with two recesses and a lock nut on top of that.  Do I just loosen thelock nut and tap the flat faced nut around with a screwdriver/chisel?

Yes .. but remember its a left handed thread .. so anti-clockwise to tighten

Fill the BB with glue, that should stop the movement.
