There is probably an old old discussion somewhere about this. How do you remove those stubborn cotter pins? In my lifetime I have only removed one set successfully without drilling or cutting through the BB axle.

Furthermore, since this is a french bike, is it only the cup threads that differ, i.e., can I fit a square taper in those cups?
