I have a 94 team Marin that is running a little bit rough and want to either replace or regrease the bottom bracket but I have no idea what type this is or what tools I need. Does anyone have any ideas? The lock ring is fine but it is the rest I am a little stumped about.

It is not a standard Shimano and the catalogue says it should be a Titek titanium 4 bearing bottom bracket.

I have a similar looking bottom bracket, by memory it is a Raceface, it has 12 indents. I could not identify a tool, so I worked out a 32mm nut was a bit bigger and I ground the edges down until it fitted and would move the bottom bracket without damaging the soft aluminium. Hopefully the bottom bracket was put in with the anti-seize compound. Very good luck with it.

Thanks, I will get lots of penetrating oil on it first.

Either way, its a BSA bottom bracket. Meaning: turn clockwise on the right (drive side) and counter clockwise on the left side of the frame to get it out.
