tight XO crank

[MonsterMan]

I have a giant xtc with a xo crank on. Cranks been fine for a while but then I staryed hearing a squeaking noise from the bb. Sounded like the bearings. I wasnt suprised as the bike had gotten very wet a few times

 

Any way. I took the crank off. Bb out and cleaned everything

 

Not the issue is. Ive put everything back exactly the same as it was, but if I tighten up the 8mm bolt on the crank......if I turn the crank arm it can hardly move. Has alot of resistance.

 

Bb shell is 73mm and ive got 1 spacer on the mon drive side. I no its not recommended but thats how it was

Take the spacer out. There's meant to be a gap between the BB and the crank on the drive side with a spring washer that holds the drive side BB seal in place.

Ive tried taking the spacer out and its still the same.

 

Do mean the thin spacer that wavy? Cause if so I dont have one of those

You talking about this spacer?

Make sure all the spacers and washers/seals are in the correct place/order relative your your BB shell width.
