Whether it is about plumbing, electrical or construction, the Brits are the best tutorial video makers on the planet !

Thank you so much bro. You did help me a lot by explaining all the steps with clarity. I was finally able to remove my bike crankset and bottom bracket on my own without taking it to a repair shop for the first time in my life. Thank you so much once again. God Bless you.

Best bottom bracket design ever. Shimano last for ages.

it's all smiles when the BB is new, clean and shiny. Trying to remove a 20yr old Trek BB...😫😫

I always find it useful to watch a video before removing the bottom bracket just to jog my memory on how to do it, especially regarding what unscrews clockwise, I don't think I'll ever remember that without checking first 😁 at least with experience things get easier.

I'll always remember the first time I tried to remove the BB and how stiff the drive side was to remove, bought about 3 or 4 different tools off Amazon, ended up buying a clamp to hold the socket and ratchet in place as in my experience it can easily slip out of the BB splines when applying force.

Clear and concise instructions...best video on bottom bracket removal on YouTube!

Yes really clear explanation showing ALL the steps - much appreciated. I now feel more confident giving it a go. It was all a bit of a mystery before this video. got plenty of time during Covid lockdown to take my time and hopefully finally get rid of my creaking bottom bracket.

Removing the Cable clamp grub screws!! Yaaasss. Diamond geezer. Was stumped for about 2 hours trying to get the bloody thing out, literally fell out when I removed the grub screws! Thanks!!

Thank you for showing this video, you saved me from ruining the bike because I don't have those tools, so I'll take it to a shop that has all the tools to work on my bike. God bless

Great and straight forward video and explanation! Also nice that you took the time explaining the need to undo the cable lead screw.

Thank you for this video! I appreciate you walking through every step. I’m restoring an old bike and had no idea how to deal with a tapered square crank. There are a million hallowtech vids.

[zerkelvin]

Thank you so much for the video. For a difficult to remove crank, I strapped the crank arn to the frame's down tube for leverage.

[whiskeytangopapa]

Finally a good video on how to do this for the most common bikes. Thanks.

[driftadvocate]

you are such a blessing! i keep coming back to you videos and finding what i need. thank you!

[nadurtha]

Good tip; If you accidently strip your threads. Use a bearing/gear pulley, probably the best alternative method of removing stubborn square taper cranks!

[Sonofsun]

Thanks for the video, in particular the way to loosen the bracket, I didn't know whether to loosen anti clockwise or clockwise. Very clear and I wouldn't have guessed it was different depending on which side.

Cheers

[larsmadsen]

Lovely. Got the threads side mixed. This video was very helpful.

[jungletension]

Thanks great video totally explains why my crank arms won't come off the way I was trying it.

[andrewphillips]

Brilliant! Very clear - just wish I'd watched this before attempting it. Now at least I know where I was going wrong and can hopefully put it right...

[jeredjanoh]
