I was removing the BB from my Hors as I wanted to change cranks from my FSA compact set to Chorus -

Well - got the crank arms off -

Used shimaNO BB tool to loosen right side (Drive side) and un-screw the BB approx an inchout, then removed the non-drive side. Now I can't get the drive side out- it is unscrewed all the way, but the BB wont come out - I dont want to use the hammer wack, as I dont want to screw up the threads. Did I miss something? This is my first time removing an ISIS BB - perhaps I missed something simple...

Help!

there a screw holding on the under-bb cable guide?

Figured it out - cable guide screw was preventing removal. Doh! Always look for the simple solution first...

Put a spacer under the screw when you put it back together. I use a valve stem nut for this purpose. I don't use them on my valve stems but save them for this kind of thing.

Good idea!

I havent had this issue with any other frames as the screw's are shorter - this wasnt installed by me (the guide)

Doh!

Simple, I wasnt thinking.
