Bottom Bracket question

Does anybody know the part number (or specs) for the bottom bracket on a 2014 Novara Safari? The old one is marked as a 'HollowTech I",which, I think, is the same as Octalink. I am wondering if it is a 68mm or 73 mm width. Thanks!

Just going by listed specs...

The crank is listed as a Shimano FC-M521-S, 48/36/26 on the rei site. https://www.rei.com/product/807245/n...fari-bike-2014

It looks like the Shimano FC-M521 is Octalink. https://bike.shimano.com/en-AU/produ...o/FC-T521.html

You should be able to measure the width, but it is probably 68.
