Klein bottom bracket......pressed in type...Help please..!

[midge]

I'm trying to fix up an old Klein..one of the bearings is rusty...Anyone done their own repair to the Portuguese bearings on their Klein?
Trek took all the tools away from the Klein shops...and hoard them!

Anyone know what dates these bearings were used?and how to fix em??
The serial number on the bike is
19tl1094438
Cheers

yea i realise i will be sht down for saying this....but......... its possible to change the bb on a klein with a hammer and a coupleof blocks of wood !!

Sounds cheaper than the £130 Trek charge to do it.

The bearings are 6003 2RS they are very cheap...

thanks, yes I'm beginning to think I should tackle the job myself..what's the point in having a classic if you don't work on it yourself..

also somewhere on this site there is a pic of a fabricated klein bb tool that you can make up out of box section and some threaded bar..... much better than a lump of wood and a hammer !!

much better than a lump of wood and a hammer

The only thing better than a lump of wood and a hammer is a lump of wood and a bigger hammer.
