Whether it is about plumbing, electrical or construction, the Brits are the best tutorial video makers on the planet !

@fuzzblightyear145 5 месяцев назад

it's all smiles when the BB is new, clean and shiny. Trying to remove a 20yr old Trek BB...😫😫

@scottroberts8644 Месяц назад

Yup

Best bottom bracket design ever. Shimano last for ages.

@mesmailtokhi Год назад

Thank you so much bro. You did help me a lot by explaining all the steps with clarity. I was finally able to remove my bike crankset and bottom bracket on my own without taking it to a repair shop for the first time in my life. Thank you so much once again. God Bless you.

But where to the crank tool?

@whiskeytangopapa1232 3 месяца назад

Finally a good video on how to do this for the most common bikes. Thanks.

@josephbuzzetta2661 Год назад

Clear and concise instructions...best video on bottom bracket removal on RU-vid!

@eggy77 2 года назад

I always find it useful to watch a video before removing the bottom bracket just to jog my memory on how to do it, especially regarding what unscrews clockwise, I don't think I'll ever remember that without checking first 😁 at least with experience things get easier. I'll always remember the first time I tried to remove the BB and how stiff the drive side was to remove, bought about 3 or 4 different tools off Amazon, ended up buying a clamp to hold the socket and ratchet in place as in my experience it can easily slip out of the BB splines when applying force.

@funkycoldmedina8727 2 месяца назад

Thank you for showing this video, you saved me from ruining the bike because I don't have those tools , so I'll take it to a shop that has all the tools to work on my bike. God bless

@zer0kelvin212 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the video. For a difficult to remove crank, I strapped the crank arn to the frame's down tube for leverage.

@leesmith5729 3 года назад

Removing the Cable clamp grub screws!! Yaaasss. Diamond geezer. Was stumped for about 2 hours trying to get the bloody thing out, literally fell out when I removed the grub screws! Thanks!!

@victorm8778 4 года назад

Yes really clear explanation showing ALL the steps - much appreciated. I now feel more confident giving it a go. It was all a bit of a mystery before this video. got plenty of time during Covid lockdown to take my time and hopefully finally get rid of my creaking bottom bracket.

@showze21 2 года назад

thanks, im going to over haul the bbs on my wife`s and mine cruiser hardtail bikes. they came with cheap square taper bb components, and its best to upgrade sooner than later, before everything gets frozen

@bdgiant Год назад

Thank you for this video! I appreciate you walking through every step. I’m restoring an old bike and had no idea how to deal with a tapered square crank. There are a million hallowtech vids.

@nadurtha8536 3 года назад

Good tip; If you accidently strip your threads. Use a bearing/gear pulley, probably the best alternative method of removing stubborn square taper cranks!

@dbattleaxe 2 года назад

It also helps to have a high quality puller tool. I tried to remove mine with a low quality one that came with a tool kit and half the threads on the puller and crank ended up being stripped. Tried the gear puller and couldn't get enough force. Luckily a higher quality puller was able to engage the remaining threads. My crank was on there so tightly that I had to use a hammer on my wrench to get it to turn. The amount of force with the mechanical advantage on the screw must have been ridiculous. I'd been hit by a car on my crank several years before and it must have forced the crank up the taper much harder than it should have been. Sometimes you can get buy with cheap tools, but this is one tool where using a cheap one can cause permanent damage and a major headache, so I highly recommend the few dollars extra for one made with better harder steel.

@driftadvocate1839 Год назад

@RonBernard-ou8ye Месяц назад

Thank u , wasn’t sure which way the threads go now I know it clockwise

@Sonofsun001 2 года назад

Thanks for the video, in particular the way to loosen the bracket, I didn't know whether to loosen anti clockwise or clockwise. Very clear and I wouldn't have guessed it was different depending on which side. Cheers

@andrewphillips5882 3 года назад

Brilliant! Very clear - just wish I'd watched this before attempting it. Now at least I know where I was going wrong and can hopefully put it right...

@hesgone6699 2 года назад

Very good video. I didn't know that the drive side and non-drive side come off in different rotational directions. Like pedals. Thanks!

@rogerhill4427 Год назад

Thanks for the “Drive side” clue, “Left hand thread”. Clockwise to undo!

@mojeff314 Год назад

Great video. Very helpful so I understand how it works and to successfully replace the bottom bracket. Now to hope I didn't damage my crankset when I decided a mallet was the proper tool.

@MTBeginner- 3 года назад

Great video, explained very clearly. My Carrera Subway 1 has this type of bb. My road bike and my mountain bike have Shimano Hollowtech ll which means I can now remove and install the bb’s on all three bikes! Thank you.

@jamieore5234 3 месяца назад

This is a great video it's a total shame park tools are so expensive for mechanics

@ridefast0 8 месяцев назад

Thanks, and here is a helpful hint - some crank puller tools come with a size adapter for different crank types, you need to be certain whether you need to use it in your application otherwise threads can get stripped! (don't ask how I know! ☹)

@andyr4611 2 года назад

Thanks, I can never remember which way these things unscrew, one tip though, use the crank bolt and an appropriately sized washer to press the bb removal tool into the splines and hold it in place while unscrewing, especially if using a 32mm spanner .

@mankihonda983 Год назад

In one cheapo kids bike i was parting out the extractor ripped the threads from the sprocket side crank. I wasn't even using much torque on it. I don't know what crappy alloy it was but it just gave out. Well i paid pennies for the entire bike and still got the frame parts i wanted for my project so not that big of a loss.

@juliomolina8858 2 года назад

So I just got back from the bike shop and asked the same question. -8mm Hex tool -crank puller -bottom bracket remover There may be some variance in tool size depending on your bikes specs. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But for a standard square tapered BB, these are all the tools you need. Plus some bike grease. Hope this helps.

@artshot7613 3 года назад

Found this very helpful, my bike is making what I can only describe as a “clunk” noise coming from my left side that only happens when I put power into it when going up hill, I’ve swapped out my pedals and regreased my crank bolts, noise is still there, I’m thinking something might be loose with my bottom bracket, but when I pull and push on my cranks, there is no wriggle or give, so it’s not obviously loose. Think it’s new bottom bracket time?

Pleased to have found this, didn't realise the drive side came out clockwise but in any case, my bottom bracket is not budging, not even with my impact gun (although it is an electric one so may just be shite).

@LarsKallin Год назад

Really helpful for me

@45rockinwax 6 месяцев назад

So how do they wear out if they're sealed ,do the bearings still wear out I suppose ?

@jamesdouglaswhite 4 месяца назад

One thing he didn't point out is that you need to use the right crank puller because there are two sizes. The inner piece needs to fit inside the square hole of the crank to push against the square rod of the bottom bracket.

@petermccavington8232 Год назад

My cranks are not coming off as easily as his did. I'm trying to repair this cheap indoor exercise bike with stripped out pedals. Seems the cranks doesn't wanna come off at all.

@scottroberts8644 Месяц назад

@WingmanLive 6 месяцев назад

I have a altus 94/95 on there but ive noticed a clank sound coming from the bottom bracket, im ok taking all apart and have tools, but im thinking should i get a deore xt bottom bracket to replace it and if i do will i still be able to run my altus chainset untill i can upgrade fully to a XT chainset? Or if the bottom bracket turns out to be ok could i just put a XT streight on there?
