The issue I had with my build was the bottom bracket. I had to get a special bottom bracket tool off ebay. And a friend's crank pulling tool since those go on taper fit. Honestly, you can just take the nuts out and go for a ride and they'll come loose eventually (don't go too far away from home to walk), which can damage the old cranks and, but you'll be replacing them anyway. Also, after riding about 20 miles on my new bbs02, I had to re-tighten the crank arms and bottom bracket.
