Hi,
I'm trying to remove a worn out BB from a 1999 Giant Alu Boulder shock. The
BB is a sealed cartridge type with Shimano type splines, I'm assuming it is
an actual Shimano unit but can't be sure. The metal collar came out
anti-clockwise very easily from the non-drive side. (It has no markings). I
was expecting that the main unit would therefore be left threaded and come
out of the drive side clockwise but I can't budge it despite loads of WD-40.
Does anyone know if clockwise is the correct direction to turn it? One of
the problems is that the extractor tool keeps jumping out when I apply
torque so I don't want to experiment too much in case of damaging the
splines.
Thanks for any help
Jerry
