BB92 install, skip ahead to step 7 for removal

Start by measuring and noting your BB shell width

For aluminum or steel frames, grease the BB shell

For carbon frames, contact your frame manufacturer. Grease may not be compatible with all frames

Slide the cup into the frame as far as it will go. It should just start to go into the frame.

Place the tool over the cup

If you don't have our BB92 tool, that's ok. You can use any flat faced bearing press. Just be sure to only press on the outer race of the bearing.

Use a bearing press to slowly press in the BB cup, by sure the cup goes in straight

In this case we our using a Hive bearing press tool, but many other threaded bearing presses will work

On the other side of the tool we are using a flat plate against the frame

Tighten until the cup is pressed in all the way

check the cup all the way around to make sure it is flush with the BB shell

Do not over tighten the cup, especially on carbon frames. Tighten the cup until it is flush with the frame and no more

Insert center tube into the frame

Press the center tube against the BB cup that is installed

Extend the center tube so it is flush with the BB shell on the side without the BB installed

Install the second BB cup repeating the procedure from step 5

Refer to the spindle spacer chart and your BB shell width for the correct spindle spacer setup for your frame

To remove the BB cup, we recommend using a Park Tool headset cup removal tool
