Octalink bottom bracket removal tool

My local lbs gave me a metal stud that you put in front the crank puller instead of the 1ps. He had a box of them and said that they used to come free with Octalink chainsets. This topic has 14 replies, 12 voices, and was last updated 8 years ago by mav Viewing 15 posts - 1 through 15 of 15 total.

So is it just down to letting it soak and leavering it off also no real place to lever from on this side I cant ride the bike to loosen them either as i dont have enough parts for the build. How much would an lbs charge for me to make this their problem? Thanks lots Tony Posted 8 years ago. If you have use an auto motive puller or ball joint spliter Posted 8 years ago. Make certain to fit the correct cup to the correct side of the bottom bracket shell.

And take special care not to cross thread the fine threads of the bottom bracket shell. Match the split section of the left-hand crank with the wide groove in the bottom axle and slide the crank into place.

Fit the crank cap using special tool TL-FC Tighten the two left-hand crank securing bolts with a 5mm Allen key — preferably with a torque wrench to Nm — repeat the tightening procedure until both securing bolts are correct. Some cranks use a captive Allen bolt. These have an 8mm Allen bolt surrounded by what appears to be a dustcap with two pin tool holes. Unscrew the Allen bolt anti-clockwise. Initially the bolt will feel reasonably tight, and will then loosen up before needing a lot more force as the crank is pulled off the axle.

Chainsets which do not have a captive bolt are removed by using a standard extractor with a small mushroom plug. Tighten the inner bolt to push the crank off the axle — this may require some force. Remove the left crank in the same way.

Take out the spacers, if fitted, from the end of the axle. Remember, on British threaded bottom bracket shells to unscrew the left-hand cup anti-clockwise and the right hand cup clockwise. Reassembly of the bottom bracket is normally a matter of smearing the threads with anti-seize grease and then working backwards through the removal procedure.

If a bottom bracket spindle does not rotate freely after the last cup has been tightened, back off the cup a tad and recheck.

The bottom bracket shell width is the width, in millimeters, of the frame where the bottom bracket is mounted. Bottom brackets must fit the frames interface type. For example, an english threaded bottom bracket can only be installed on a frame that accepts english threading.

This is an older standard that was used on some Shimano cranks. In Store products are available to view in our showroom. In Store orders usually ship the same or next business day.
