This video is simply amazing. You don't see this everyday and you definitely don't see this on Top Cycling KZread channels with raw and realistic bottom bracket removal. Only the bikeman can bring refreshing footage like this

Honestly the tip for the direction you gave is the best one I heard from a youtube video.

Love your videos, even like the fact you come across slightly unhinged, but this just adds to the videos. Thanks.

... ... ...LOL!!!!!

I am such a man that I ALWAYS tighten it for a good while before i find this video and then proceed to go FORWARD. :)

Thanks for the video as it helped me out of trouble with my bottom bracket. I used a 75 cm breaker bar to set mine free and what came out wasn't much better than yours, thanks again :)

i use a washer and a screw to hold the bottom bracket removal tool in the axle (the 32mm icetoolz type, that has a large opening). very easy and safe

This vid is very entertaining as well as instructive. That noise and sudden release of the right side was cathartic! It felt good just seeing and hearing it give. I'm going to go out, and work on my stuck BB in the garage.

Thanks mate, I was struggling with a BB, every other removal video makes it look like a simple problem free exercise, you've show the reality... I'm taking mine to the bike shop.

6:22 Its all about "gettin' a good Zenkutsu stance", it really is. Brilliant stuff 👍💪🙏❤

Yes found it bikeman doing the watuzzi stance. people say that if he uses full force,he makes a day shorter or longer depends on the position.

Hey. I ve just had this exact thing happen to me. Been scratching my head trying to understand what kinda bb this was. Thanx for clearing this up and some great real world experience and tips.

Learning a bunch from your channel Bikeman! keep up the awsome work! and thanks a lot! to you and all the Team. Saludos from Tijuana Mexico.

I’ve had my fair share of seized BBs, I just put the Bb tool in the vice and lift the bike up and use that as a lever, I’ve never failed to undo one that way...

I just removed a rusted BB, and that was seriously tough, but no way was it as bad as yours. Good job.

TIP: in the first 2min of the vid, when you're cranking down on the breaker bar, you should really use open palm instead of closed fist (your left hand) there is always the chance that you'll slip and the last thing you want is to smash your fingers on the floor with that breaker bar in hand. learned that the hard way while working on cars...

Good point

Like your style, bikeman! Hilarious 😂

Thanks for your many videos... good information.. great personality.. much appreciated....

special sauce saves the day once again :)

Exellent straight foward advice cheers.

Sorry for being late to the party as for myself I'll remove a stuck SHIMANO BB with a CYCLUS Bottom bracket removal tool it will be with a threaded keeper that threads into the spindle and this tool will be with a straight unfixed handle, I've been using this tool for roughly 20 years for hard to remove BBs, I'm very surprised that no one is using this tool for such BBs, they newer offering will be with fixed double angled handles and the newer offering will also be with tooling flats so a wrench can be used for assistance for the removal of really stubborn BBs.

SPECIAL SAUCE ! thanks for the recipe Bikeman love your show

Do not drink it! Even though it's WD40 bottle, do not drink it!

I use moly-graph lube all around threads before putting in new cartridge bracket. For high compression applications.

quality editing! love the videos bikeman. Thats easily the worst bb ive ever seen!

That instant replay is great

Bike man is game.

A "bottom bracket" is a FRAME part. What most people call a bottom bracket is the crank bearing assembly. The crank bearing, in most cases, screws into the frame part known as the "bottom bracket". Crank bearings can be built up from loose parts: cups, spindle, and balls. Or the bearing can be a cartridge assembly.

Very informative. Thanks.

bikeman thats a beautiful bike

Great bottom bracket fix

Nice, shiny paint, and the chain dragging against it. Come on Bikeman, if you don't have a chain tool, I'll be glad to ship you one for $49.95.

Thanks for the cool vid!

This always happens on frames that don't have the screw hole for the plastic derailleur guide. Its the only way for water to drain out(unless you vertically store your bike)

FORWARD for progress... Afterwards, the bottom bracket goes BACK on.

Thanks for that. I'm thinking of buying a second hand bike/frame to convert it to an electric bike. This is my biggest fear. Not being a mechanic would heating up the frame gently around the cassette thing help by expanding the encasing bit of the frame and also help crack the crusty erosion? At least I have some idea of what I'm up against. Hunting for a bit of scaffold pole now.

I hope you clean chain after that.

ohh that squeek man im dieing laffing!!:))

I had to use an impact screwdriver with 1/2 drive on my bb,did the trick.

That's where I am heading. Hoping my car mechanic neighbor has one or else it's off the Harbor Freight. If I had a bike shop it would be in my tool kit.

I just had one worse, 1988 bike with the BB cups made from plastic, there was nothing to get hold of as they were all chewed up, in the end I had to drill holes around the BB to release it.

It deserves every bit of it. Not as much as the engineers who designed it, but still...

Is there a way to removed cogs from my cassette to adjust or customize my gear ratios??

BikeMan, tell us about the saddle, please.

Hey, what kind of boots are you wearing?

if the bottom bracket threads are fowled, you could use a 'threadless bottom bracket' as a replacment - unfortunately for me my BB is well and truely stuck.

Ye cleanin the gunk off with brass wire brush.More like rubbing in

The Bike Mans proprietary blend of special sauce. Don't be fooled by the bottle it's not WD-40, LOL!!!

just did my raleigh MTB BB.. thank GOD for airtools!!... this bastard didn't want to come out... took an hour of back and forth and lots of lube.. shell threads chewed up a bit in the end :(

almost as bad as stuck seat post :P

how do you make sure that the tool stays in the splines? mine jumps out

what kinda tool can I use vikman

a realistic feel. at least its how my bike work usually goes

Bikeman!! I got one I can't get. And the bike shop(s) couldn't either! Can I heat the frame around the bracket, the frame is aluminum? I can go into detail, but trust me, it won't budge! Need some real 911 advice here! PLEASE!

Bolted tool into bracket and put it in the vice. Tried airgun. Tried airgun w/wrench! Tried with the bar, like in the video, and I've soaked in overnight in liquid wretch.

Thanks man! It worked! It actually worked. I had to soak it overnight in penetrating oil, but I ratcheted on the tool, place a wrench on it with about a 6 foot breaker bar and... WHAM!! One sneeze brought to it's knees! Thank you sir! Gold star by your name!

What if the cup is made of plastic and it's seized! And now that I've leaned on it the teeth are mashed.

Try that with a Fauber...

Haha this guy is cool as Fuckkkk... Damm wish he lived in England

Why do you want a low top tube? Are you dirt jumping your road bike?

That's nothing. I wouldn't even call that stuck compared to the one that I'm dealing with.

This is why aluminum was invented for bikes. If that frame was aluminum that wouldn't of happened. At the very least the frame wouldn't of corroded.

Aluminium still corrodes it's just that the oxide protects it but when that gets scratched off the metal is exposed and it corrodes more

This bike is like many women: looks all shiny and nice on the outside, but once you get to the inside...

Wtf has he got hanging off the back of his head?

Getting that SAUCE in there . . . oooooozing all around . . . . HONEY where are you? Are you home?

All I heard is the BikeMan's lower back squealing like a walmart bike. Srl Bike Man take care of your back we need you to stay healthy and making videos, that's terrible manual handling there!

Just use a racket wrench gun...
