Bottom Bracket Tools

Bottom bracket tools are an essential part of any mechanics kit, and home mechanics are also best to have one in their toolbox. They are needed when you need to remove or install a bottom bracket, when its worn out or when you just want an upgrade.

Each type of bottom bracket will need a specific type of BB tool. For example, threaded bottom brackets from Shimano, like their Hollowtech range, need a specific tool that is different from SRAM or other brands. Pressfit bottom brackets need bottom bracket tools that press the bearings into the frame, which is also dependant on the specific brand of bottom bracket.
