gt 24 bb h/set removal

[spesh]

got my 05 gt cruiser about to be stripped and readied for that old school make-over
just a couple of questions tho

bb is it the same as a mtb one in that it unscrews anti-clockwise with a special splined socket(which i have)
or are they cups like the old bmxs
and how does the headset (internal?) come apart, are they races and do they just pop out with a little force
or are they bearings that need drifting out?
if anyones got any diagrams which would help
cheers spesh

BB is same as MTB/Road so unscrews anti-clockwise, might not be the same fitment as Shimano or ISIS so you might need to use a different tool, one that is curved with a hook type bit on the end to grip the slots around the outside of the BB 

The bearing races should pop out the same as old school, when I took my forks out of mine to get them chromed the bottom race came out under hand pressure but yours might need to be drifted out, only way to know is to take it apart and see

Now you've got me thinking    Defo anti clockwise as normal riding rotation would loosen it, I'm going to have check now
