Maintenance – Headset & BB Spindle

Hands itchy again. This time out came the Fork. Wiped clean, sprayed GT85  & applied grease to a few areas including the Fork’s steerer and headset bearings. Remember to put some grease on all screw threads before assembly.
Tools used: 5mm Allen key

… walau, realize the Fork is so heavy!
 



Saw some rusting on the BB’s spindle. Had to remove the crank (crank-arm) to clean it.
Tools used: 8mm Allen key & Crank Extractor  

Bottom Bracket Removal

Hands itchy again. This time ‘tiak’ BB. Similar to pedal, remember there’s the left and right hand thread for loosening and tightening. Tip: To loosen the right and left pedal, the wrench is turned towards the back of the bike
