BB Removal and preservation - Re-usable?
Hi all,
While the pressed-in BB in my 1990 Wicked is just fine (probably only has a couple hundred miles on it), I really want to get the frame re-painted or powdercoated. Is it possible to remove the bearings without completely wrecking them if you are careful and have the right tools? Thanks, |

Scroll down to what Rody has to say on this one; I think it's covered well here. Jon

Yeah, I think I found what I was looking for. Looks like if I'm careful I can pop everything out and re-install without destroying my perfectly good bearings.
Thanks, |

just make sure you make good contact with the punch on the bearing surface...
