Press Fit Square Taper Bottom Bracket Gary Fisher Paragon Hoo Koo e Koo Trek Klein How To 6003 RS 

You fracking beat me too this video. Absolutely top notch. I own a Fisher Ti Prometheus and have done this repair for another customer. I had been meaning to post an instructional video. You beat me.

Just bought an old Fisher HK-II & there is play in the bottom bracket. Watched many videos on the wide variety of BBs until my head spun, but could not find anything with retaining spring-clips. This video has been invaluable to me. Thanks so much.

Thanks! I have a 1988 Fisher Montare XT that is starting to make noises in the BB. When I restored it a few years ago I avoided dealing with this but now I'm going to tackle it. Read about it online but you video really helped!

Thanks for posting, I’m doing a 1988 Montare. My spindle is more burly, and has a sleeve and two rings with allen bolts to secure them. Now to find a socket that works!

Thank you, Forrest! Your Paragon looks awesome! I have a Fisher 91 Procaliber that I bought new and I've been looking all over for some insight into the bottom bracket. This was a great help! Now if I could find the original fork or a replacement...

I've got a Gary Fisher Sphinx from 91/92? The axle was broken down. Now I bought an old Fisher bike from this time to obtain this part. Not easy to find worldwide 😅

That is a wonderful demonstration about the almost-impossible-to-find bottom bracket. I have the same bottom bracket that I am working on. I can stop the little play. Maybe retaining clips are bent or something else.. Do you know where to find those clips?

Hey thanks for video - my old fisher is being grumpy - took the retaining Clips off but can’t seem to whack those bearings out (wood hammer Technique)

Thanks for posting this! I'm not experienced with press-fit bearings in general, but do you have any concerns about the socket only pressing on the outer race and not supporting the inner race as you're tapping, and getting forced out of tolerance, especially tapping in the second bearing to go in? (hopefully that question makes sense) My first mtb is a GF Aquila and it's still going! I have been loathe to ride it too much as I haven't wanted to deal with changing the bb, but this might inspire me to ride more and change out when needed....actually after 30 years, it probably is needed lol. Thanks again for putting this video up.

Thank yo for your video! My Klein seems to have a similar BB, but without the retaining ring on the outside.

How did you remove the bearings from the spindle once you remove the assembly? mine seem to be stuck on my spindle. I have a gary fisher procaliber

I have the same frame you were working on and my question is , do you know of an updated bottom bracket that can be used on this frame so you can use a new style crankset. And if not would you know where I can get those bearings and I need the spindle as well because the crank arms come loose after awhile.

Thanks! Just scored (FREE!) an old HK II (Hoo Koo e Koo) with the silver splatter over green. The bearing supplier was a great resource -- shipped within two days! Now who has an 1 1/4 Aheadset ? :)

Shoulda put the bearings in the freezer and the frame under the hot sun for about an hour

Liked & Subscribed ! Thank You ! Really not a daunting task at all ..... buy a lomger bolt and you're all set.

👍

Thx forrest

How do you take it out
