Hi all, thought I'd update you.

Thanks for all the help.

Job all done!! and new bottom bracket fitted. Cranks were rock solid on but old bottom bracket came out quite easily in the end. Well worn out!

(Halfords quoted £43 inc parts for doing this as it old skool)

Here's what I needed.

Crank puller - £2.99 ebay which included a 14mm socket for crank bolt
Brand new Raleigh 24.5mm bottom bracket (same size as old one) - £9.50 ebay
Shimano style Bottom Bracket socket to fit the new one - £4.60 ebay
A sunny half hour without the kids about - priceless

All sorted for £17ish

Cheers

Brett
