Hi all,
Probably been asked many times already - and for those that know a obvious question, but...

I am going to change the replaceable bearings on my TA Specialities Axix bottom bracket.
Will I need a bearing puller / press tool to remove / insert the bearings from / into their cups?

    If it's this one

    You'll need a crank removal tool, and a bottom bracket tool. Former is shaped like a bolt with moving piece at the end, and second is like a metal tube.

    When you use the BB tool, screw in the crank bolt so the BB tool can't plop out whilst undoing it. Make sure you follow correct directions for undoing BB. It'll be anti clockwise for non drive side (loosen this first) then clockwise for drive side (loosen second)
    Say... That's a nice bike..
