I cant get the 8mm bolt loosened to remove cranks / replace bottom bracket.
Looking like I need a breaker bar (with some sort of fitting to accept an 8mm socket) but can i do anything else to help?
Allen key with an old seat post over the end of it?
My x type have always been a fight to remove. I bought a 1/2 drive Allen key attachment set from machine mart as I've already got a 500mm long bar in my socket set.
Just need to rest the none drive side crank arm on a step and a bit of brute force and off it comes.
its an absolute bastard.
get a proper socket ot a large adjustable wrench on an allen key. lots of swearing. i suggest getting a new bolt as well just incase.
