I got a shifter kit from sick bike parts for my 2 stroke mountain bike, soon to be "the ultimate fishing bike"...
(more to come on that note soon on a separate thread ).
I just about have everything installed, i had to add a chain breaker, a crank removal tool, and a shimano bottom bracket tool to my arsenal of tools, and i just now removed the bottom bracket in order to install the new wider square spindle needed for the shift kit (as pictured below), then i ran into my first snag...
I cant seem to figure out how to remove a rather thin "bolt" that seems to hold the bottom bracket, the spindle, and perhaps the bearings together (also pictured below, with me pointing a pencil at the "bolt")...
I have tried my luck with basic tools in order to remove this little b!+ch, but it just wont budge no matter how hard i try. (pliers fit, but vice grips, adjustable wrenches, and my socket set wont fit)
Does anyone know what this problematic "bolt" is called?
What is the name of the proper tool for removing it?
And do you think there's a ghetto way of removing it so i don't have to buy yet another tool lol?
Thank you for any advice i may receive, and sorry about the "carpy" pics from the cell phone i was using lol
