This BB sometimes needs replacing when the brakes are bled - if
you're missing the dust boot (anyone know where new ones can be
obtained?) moisture gets in and it tends to rust and then won't reseal.
Take a nail - a plain everyday steel nail - and a magnet. Stick the
magnet to the side of the nail. Now the nail is magnetic - stick it in
the hole, it'll latch onto the BB and you can carefully pull it out.
