I want to thank you so so so much. I had been trying to use a socket wrench on the removal tool to loosen the non-drive side. No matter how hard I tried, nothing. Then I saw you use a big wrench, which allowed you to hold everything tightly in place with your free hand. I tried that, and it broke free. Blessings to you!

This is the gift that keeps on giving. Wouldn't have occurred to me to put a bolt on there! I put a bolt on, hit it with my heat gun, and stomped on it. BOOM! Finally got it loose. Thanks for saving me a lot of frustration!

The is the best, simplest and no BS video on the BB removal, superb job, thanks

Simplest is to use an impact gun, but nevertheless this is a quality method.

Outstanding! Thank you! Look forward to attacking this task afresh tomorrow with what I just learned.

2:30 what !! Shit, why didn't I think of this?, You saved me !! I was in trouble, I couldn't open the bottom bracket with that tool alone, it always fell off, It was so clogged, I couldn't move it, but with your idea, I can open it. Thank you very much .

absolute legend

Wow so simple and effective. First video I have come across that tackles a seized bottom bracket and to use a bolt and washer to hold the tool on, why didn't I think of that. Excellent video thanks for uploading!

Amazing wish I’d watch this a week ago!

Hi Sir. REALLY helpful! Fantastic idea using the headset cup. I had to drill out the hole of a spare one I had to 8mm, but it worked with the breaker bar! Thanks! 😊

I just did this after seeing your video and it saved me so much time and frustration 👍😃

Dear sir Thank you so much for this video. Just what I needed when about giving up. Kind regards

Excellent video! Thank you! Next step, get out my heat gun.

Good, basic instructions. I have just followed that to successfully remove my BB cup. I did give it a squirt of Plusgas penetration oil to ease its progress beforehand. It genuinely seems to help on all sticky threads.

Excellent. Thank you so much for the effort and information.

well mine was a lot more stuck. what worked for me was flap wheeling the face of the thing until all tool fittings were gone and it was flush with the bottom bracket shell. then using a die grinder with a burr bit i carved through the race in 2 places on opposite sides. a hack saw would be great here in theory but the race is so hard, all the teeth on your hacksaw just wear down in seconds. so after turning the threaded race into 2 parts, you are able to pry it away from the threads. this leaves damage in 2 places in the bottom bracket threads but its better than throwing the bike in the garbage.

You're the best Danyo, thanks.

Oh my, this is what I'll be facing in the very near future.. time to tool up!

Great video, very helpful and 'real world' - thank you:)

Great explanation. Your method worked.

This video helped me out. Thank you!

For me, spraying some penetrating oil onto both sides at least 1 hr before attempting to remove helps

very instructive!! thanks!

Appreciate the tips 👍

This is a great trick. My only issue now is to get a stuck bb out with a broken spindle 🤦‍♂️

Very satisfying

WD-40 bath is also helpful. Set the frame flat side ways and let the oil sit on it for hours.

You know all the tricks 😉!!

Thank you for that 👍

Very helpful.. Thank you

Mostly headset caps are gonna fit with M5 screw, just get a big washer that fits your crank bolt instead of the headset cap, I removed mine firstly on the non drive side ( the cup ) to flood it with WD-40 or oil to make the drive side ( unit ) easier to unscrew, and I broken loose the drive side with the adjustable wrench with a long pipe

Fantastic!

The bolt and top cap as washer is brilliant and the 32mm this is a hidden secret of top mechanics !😮

Good tips

Brilliant 👏

Must try this on my stubborn bb

Wow. That thing stuck really good

I used a lever as long as the down tube t get it off, and need to clean up the threads. I thing using a Bafang motor earlier was very rough on the BB!

This seems to be a common problem. Wouldn't lubing the threads with anti seize compound facilitate future disassembly?

Who makes that shallow bottom bracket tool? The one I have is like 3 times as long so I can do this.

Any tips on removing a uneven bottom bracket

I bought a new bike to put my Bafang mid-motor kit on it. I got thr cranks off. Can get that tool to stay in the grooves. Im stripping the threads. I might have to carefully drill it out and use tiny hacksaw. I just want to get shimano bracket set out for my motor.

Thanks for this video i'm going to prepare Can i use a 18 inch breaker bar or should i use bigger for the drive side And what is yours ?

WD-40, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench are your friends in situations like this

@ 3:00 You said M7 bolt. I don't know if that's correct. In my case, I used a m8 bolt x 1.0 pitch (pitch is important as 1.25 pitch would not work) and 50mm long to secure a BB removal tool to the taper (with a 3mm spacer)

@@DanyoSports Interesting. I thought the crank bolts would be universal in diameter and pitch. I think it's also worth pointing out that if both sides are tight, take the cup side off first otherwise you won't have a spindle to screw onto and make sure to loosen the bolt a little on cup side as you untighten so you have space to allow the tool to back out.

I hate dealing with square taper bottom brackets. They need to make hollowtech-style standard.

Wrost bottom bracket is square tapers i dont like but i have i need to change but it cost very very high

for you it was easy, i have the tool to detach the arm from the bottom bracket but the thread failed so now no tool can help me, what do I do?

no chance. my tool just slips

Not all bottom bracket bolts are M7, I ordered M7 x 40mm to do what you said only to discover that the bolts on my Carrera Karkinos are M8, so I got M8 x 40mm, bottom bracket still wouldn't budge, then we clamped the adjustable spanner to a scaffolding pole with a flattened end, still wouldn't move, heated the bottom bracket up and tried again, this time two of us were pushing down on the scaffolding pry bar extension when the pressure became too much and the jaws of my heavy duty stanley adjustable snapped. I don't believe that your video is very truthful, that bottom bracket that you showed, the one that was allegedly rusted on, was definitely removed and then replaced for the making of your video, because there's not a chance in hell that a bottom bracket that was rusted on, released as easily as you portrayed in this video, no chance!

even with all the specialized proper tools, some are far too stuck to be removed conventionally. i work in a bike shop and many times have had to use grinders, saws, torches etc ALONG with the proper tools and enough leverage
