Hi, I was wondering if anyone had the specification of what the bottom bracket is on this bike. I know its Octalink but I was wondering if you knew the width and other information for replacing it. Thanks

Had a puzzling issue with the original factory-fitted ES300 Octalink bottom bracket on my 500SE over the last few days. I'd been getting the creaking noises for a week or so, so I ordered the appropriate tools and removed it. Cleaned the threads on the BB and the frame, greased it up and refitted it only to find that the flanged bit of the non-driveside part (that's supposed to sit against the frame) was actually sitting proud by perhaps 1.5mm.
Tried fitting the parts in a different order (i.e. non-driveside first) but that only shifted the gap to the other side.
Makes me think the BB is actually too small?
