A Little Progress

It seems that whenever I am stuck at a particular point of this project I stumble across an answer on Youtube or another blog. Such was the case with the remaining pieces of the crank. I had trouble unscrewing the last couple of nuts because I wasn't able to hold it whilst using my tools. After some blog browsing I hit upon the idea of using a vise to hold the crank. Thankfully I have Gpa Charlie's shop vise mounted to my work bench and once I had the crank locked in there I made quick work of it.

Now that I have the crank completely dissembled and cleaned I'm eager to get it back together. Unfortunately I have to hold off until I can get the new ball bearings, grease and paint. I'm thinking about a green color.
