Hi guys,a mate at work has a specialized p1 with an absolutely knackered bottom bracket,unfortunately he has tried to remove it himself and made a bit of a hash..any advice would be greatly appreciated as to how to remove it (screw fit or press fit etc) I can't even see how the drive side crank comes off..thanks in advance

Knowing what you are doing and having the right tools ? Shed loads of WD40 ?

Too early for press fit. Should unscrew with the right tool or something bodged. Often easier to hold the tool in the vice and turn the frame. Don't forget right hand side has left hand thread.
