Morning,

My BB is creaking like a old house, so figure it needs changing (its on my road bike and have done around 3,000 miles I'd guess). Its one of those in the link

Other than a tool to un-screw the external bits do I need any other specialist tools at all?

Thanks

A big massive metal breaker bar

Nope & it dead easy to do, why i love em. Could try popping the seal out & regreasing if you only have creaking but no movement in the bearings
