Servicing a Trance BB

I have a squeaky bottom bracket on my 2012 Trance X3.

Don't really want to put it into LBS as they take an age to service anything (and just back from service and they never picked it up - and I forgot to mention it :oops: ). So I want to try looking at it myself - need to learn sometime.

I am pretty much crap at anything like this so need a step by step guide to removing, inspecting and repacking a pressfit BB and a list of tools I will need to buy...

Any suggestions?

    Look on Park Tools, they have a full guide.

    Are you sure that it's the BB? Sometimes the chainrings can creak under power, just tighten them.
