Need Info On Tools For Replacing Bottom Bracket
#2
hello and welcome to the Tutor. I am not an expert on Walmart bikes but the ones I have seen in that price range still use a spindle/cup/bearing Bottom bracket vs. a cartridge style which is normally better nowadays. To provide better answers for you, clear close up pics of your spindle/Bottom bracket area both sides would help. Plus pics of what they sent you to install.
as for the removal of your rear cluster we need a clear close up shot of the drive side of that too, I have seen such low end freewheels that had no tool to take them off other than destroying them.
as far as as lube Wd-40 is a big no no as it is not a lube, nor is liquid wrench unless it is silicone spray brand liquid wrench. As far as grease for bearings many like to use boat trailer axle grease as it is cheap for the quantity, I use mostly Phil Wood green stuff. For chain and pivot points I use Tri-Flow, Lubeone by slick50, or liquid wrench silicone spray, or a dry lube for certain drivetrains and use.
There are two kinds of people in the world, "Those who help themselves to people, and those who help people!"
