Ok firstly a bit of background. I was out riding on Monday night and basically I ended up riding into a puddle... which ended up being about 16" deep (well over the hubs so maybe more) which was a bit of a suprise 
. I cleaned her up and re-oiled the chain but when out today it was sounding rough and even rougher when I really cranked on the pedals. There also seems to be a tiny bit of sideways play in the cranks so I think my bottom bracket has died 
Now the problem- the bike is a GT Avalanche but other than that I know nowt. A search brings up Avalanche 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.5 etc etc. All I know is mine is bottom of the range, lower than a 3.0 I think
Infact, here she is-
What I really need to know is what type of bottom bracket it is likely to have and what tools I will need (I have general tools but no bike specific stuff). Basically if anyone can point me in the right direction to save me taking it to a bike shop and assuming the position I'd be really grateful.
TIA
