i’m thinking about just putting the BB back on & selling it with the fucking frame
i’m so frustrated
after the rack fell on my head… i noticed that i already scratched the clear coat. the paint used to be perfect… now it has little scratches everywhere
it’s just the drive side
What kind of frame is it?
True on English and Swiss BBs. French and Italian have both cups threaded in the usual way. (Which causes them to always come loose if not locktited)[/quote]
true
blur is the bb also a sugino 75? if so its english
yeah sugino 75
pista concept
drive side cups can be pretty hard to remove
your choice dude
impossible… not just hard.
i’m 200 pounds and i’m putting all my weight into it & nothing at all. nothing!
Lay it on it’s side and poor ammonia between the cup and shell. Leave it to work overnight. Does wonders.
i don’t have amonia… but i sprayed the shit out of it with GUNK Liquid Wrench.
leaving it overnight.
too tired/pissed to work on it anymore
cheater bar?
explain what that is
put a piece of pipe over wrench to make the arm longer so you can aply more torque
Tap the tool with a hammer lightly in the direction to tighten it. In this case, counter clockwise. The do the same to loosen it (tap the tool with a hammer clockwise). This sometimes helps it “unfreeze”.
oh… no can do… the tool i bought from Park has a 32mm wrench on one side and a 36mm on the other… so i can fit anything over the end…
i’ve been straining so hard… i am actually stripping the tool
tried that too
i think it’s frozen permanently
I just had the exact same problem like a week ago with a drive side cup. I really had to whack the shit out of the BB tool with a hammer, but it finally came loose.
I applied framesaver and drilled a drain hole in the BB shell before putting that bike back together (with healthy amounts of grease).
i’m going to bed.
i can’t handle this bullshit any more.
it’s stuck.
it’s not budging at all.
leave it with the liquid wrench overnight
try tomorrow by tapping the wrench with a hammer
BB cups are notorious for being a bitch if ungreased. sometimes heat will help the metal expand enough to let go of the cup. take it to a shop tomorrow and let them deal with the hassle.
I’ve done this.
And even the dude at the shop had a hell of a time with it. Eventually had to put liquid wrench on it for a few minutes then put the bottom bracket tool in a vice and held the frame!! ha, that was some funny shit. fucking kilo tt isis bb
oh and blur, i’m the highest bidder on your crankset! at my bid i doubt i’ll win but if i do i’ll get a good deal and if i don’t, i’ll help push the auction a little bit!
