Joe Aston Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 You will need a tool a normal bottom bracket tool should do any decent bike shop should be able to sell you one failing that any good bike shop should be able to fit the bottom bracket for you. There not that hard to fit. You just need to be very carefull well threading the cups in. There is a certain order you must follow and if i remeber correctly it is non drive side half in then drive side full in and then non drive side full in and make sure both cups are as tight as you can get them. I no its not a very clear explanation but with a bb tool i think you will strugle anyway.Hope this vage advice helps a little.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yeah, that's the old style FAG ones (brand name not a derogatory remark!). I expect Malcolm Rathmell could sort you out with a tool although I used to use one of those metal jar opener things on my old X-Hydra! Kinda like that one:Except it had rounded locating lugs which fitted the BB perfectly!Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Use a screw driver and your sorted and no need to buy a tool then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that was obvious so try where ever you got it from. If you cant find one just use something you can find in garage and a hammer (solves everything does the hammer) and it will be orite. OO i tell you what you could use what i would have though would be ok is a pair of pipe grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 You can use mole grips to screw that in.By the way, it's not Monty, it's FAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 easiest option is to let your LBS have a look so you dont have to buy one lol!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
