    Well at present I only need the left pedal crank arm, as it seems to keep loosening as I pedal, even though the nut is all way in to BB spindle. I thought i had tightened it ok but obviously its not enough. I had thought about putting some thread lock glue on nut, but will i ever be able to...

    Well Im afraid I dont have a torque wrench, so I guess I will just have to try and tighten it up a bit harder. would it be the BB spindle thread damaged then. as the bolt does go all way in and was very tight

I was wondering if to use thread lock liquid. but then if at a later date i need to change the...

    Well I have sorted out the problem about my left pedal arm was too loose but now I have banged it on harder to bb spindle plus used special bolts it’s much better now as before it kept slipping. Regards to the above what saneagle said I think he means the size of the end part of that silver bit...

    LOL sorry mate, But no way can I remove the BB when bike is right way up, as I dont have a bike stand, so I have to turn bike upside down. now you stated that both nuts on BB go towards front wheel, so take the left side of bike in a standing position like you said towards front wheel...

    so if I did bike upside down, non chain side will be anti-clockwise and chain side clockwise

    No the bike will be upside down when i do it. so what you saying then when unscrewing the BB nuts. both bb nuts are anticlockwise as my front wheel will be to my right when i do non chain side. and the chain side front wheel will be to my left. or have i got that completely wrong.

    Yeah I understood the 1st bit to make sure that silver part is all way unscrewed. and i think what you man about BB tool is to make sure you use maybe a socket in end to hold it. I think basicly that cog wheel side where chain goes needed a few squirts of WD40 to loosen it more. I wont need...

    Yeah they should have, But its very hard to find a bike shop to do stuff, as a lot say they dont touch electric bikes even though, its nothing to do with electrc part a lot of bike shops will lose out, as most jobs are to do with non electric. just seems a bit silly to me. I went to 1 bike shop...
