Hello everybody, I'm sure your day is going better than mine lol!
I'm trying to get my bottom bracket off my mountain bike. I have the replacement cartridge and the proper bottom bracket tool. Its an old Trek 830 that I'm rebuilding.
Here's what happened: I put the tool on the plastic cup side, wrenched it down and BAM I snapped all the splines off the plastic cub, ALL of them! From my understanding though I can still get the drive out, but tomorrow I plan to blow torch the plastic cup to dust. Any other ideas?
Then theres the drive side. First problem is, the tool slips, and I don't want to strip it. I'm turning the drive side to the right to loosen it, like it should. I was hammering on the wrench, and the thing doesn't budge, not even a little. I tried WD40 with little help.
How am I going to get this thing off?
