Shimano cartridge bb installation - How to?

Hello there.

Yesterday I was at a sport store here in town that is getting out of
the bicycling aspect.

They are clearing everything out at 50% off.

I bought a Shimano UN 53 113x68 bottom bracket.

I have never installed a cartridge bb before. I do have access to the
tool required.

What is the best method of installing and/or setting this up?

Will my Sugino MP 110 cranks work with this okay? If not will my Sugino
1GC work? Both these are straight arm cranks which I far prefer over
the bent arm cranks.

Thanks once again for your help.

The directions inside the box are pretty good for Big S BBs. Just follow
them and you'll be fine.

AFAIK, only way to tell is to try them -- unless you still have the
directions that came with the cranks? If so, they should tell you what
size/spec/type of BB to use.

Happy Cranking... Bill S.
