Hi all,
My first post on here, I'm after some advice please. I need to replace my bottom bracket so set about taking the crank arms off. I got a crank arm tool and the left side came off easily. Then I screwed the crank arm tool in to the right side arm, started tightening it up and it started pushing back out of the crank arm. So basically now I have a crank arm stuck fast on to the BB, but the threads on both the crank arm tool and the crank arm are completely mashed. What are my options? Angle grinder, and add a new crank arm on to my bottom bracket order too?!
Thanks in advance...
Matt
