That chain length measurement looks like a great way to either drop a chain too long or rip off a rear derailleur at full suspension compression der cage too short. Sorry, don't agree that petroleum based grease pretty much any bearing grease on the market compacts inside of threads. Not sure what type of grease you have used but I would switch. Anti seize is not a bad thing to use on B. These are facts from my own experience of 15yrs working on B.

You can use anti-seize if you want, and it's a must if you're attaching dissimilar metals especially when Ti is involved. How many ages is that exactly? Antiseize contains some metals inside, so i think it's not adapted to moving parts. Self-extracting systems use threaded rings that look similar to a crank dust cap. However, these crank retaining rings are threaded over the crank bolt, so that when the crank bolt is loosened the shoulder of the bolt presses back against the ring, which in turn slowly pushes the arm from the spindle.

No additional crank removal tools are required. Self-extracting systems exist in both two-piece and three-piece form. These have a left crank arm with a compression slot that is secured by two pinch bolts and a right crank arm with an integrated spindle. These systems use external bearing cups and do not need a conventional crank puller. The left side crank is removed to get to the bearings or to remove the right crank.

With this system, both the left and right crank arms are fitted with one-half of the spindle system, with teeth machined into each spindle end.

Instead, the bearings are mounted onto the cranks. And basically, what this is doing is this is pressing this arm onto this taper. So since its tapered, it's kind of pushing up onto it. And then once you get to the point where it's getting really tough to turn the bolt or the nut, you want to make sure that you give it a nice snug, tight jolt.

It's about 50 pounds of pressure to make sure that it's on there really well and that it's not going to come off.
