I'm replacing a BB this afternoon: Elder Son has progressed on his bike mechanic apprenticeship from "I don't know how to do this", through "Hey, I can do this..." to "I've done this so often it's boring so here's some tools."
My memory is that I should screw the cartridge in first, then the plastic nut on the other side to tension it, but he thinks it should be done with the plastic nut first. Which is it?
And how many newtons should I use? Some people seem to say 40, others say 60.
