How to Replace a Vintage Crankset & Bottom Bracket

[@jfw1871]

Thanks for this video. I want to do this on my 1970 Motobecane Gran Sprint. This answered all of my questions. Very well done. Thanks again.

That’s great! Sounds like an awesome build

Hey Isaac, I really admie your work here. That bike has obviously been well maintained. Just one suggestion though, you should put a light film of grease on the spindle before you insert it, so there is some form of a barrier between the spindle and bearing faces. Same with the BB threads. A thin film of grease there might save you a lot of heartache down the road.

You’re totally right, not sure how that slipped my mind when putting this together! I’m glad you pointed it out, thanks!

Im working on an early model Phillips. I have tried banging, prying, everything to get those pins out...what am i missing?

[@Walshibikes]

Sometimes they’re really stuck in there and just need extra persistent force. Maybe applying some heat would also help loosen it up

@@Walshibikes I will give that a try!
