    1 have a read of Parktools.

    an allen key and a Preload bolt tool. and then a HT2 BB tool. and maybe a rubber mallet.

    maybe.

    it depends on many many things.

    I addition to nick's pearls of wisdom, remember that a well shod foot can replace a rubber mallet.

    I'll give you a well shod foot if you're not careful.

    Mystic Northwind Predicts: You have undone the 2 M6 bolts, but not the little plastic retainer doobrie thing that sits on the same crank arm. Once you pop that out of the way, the left hand arm just comes off.
