Fit the new bearings The new bottom bracket should come with a plastic sleeve. Most surprisingly, what often sounds like a bottom bracket creak is usually something else. Most of the time, the true cause is a loose chainring bolt.
After you check the chainring bolts, look at the pedals, crank bolts, seatpost and seat. There are 4 widths available with BSA bottom brackets; 68mm, 73mm, 83mm or mm. For road bikes, a BSA bottom bracket is always 68 mm wide. Other sizes, and particularly the 73 mm width, is commonplace with mountain bikes. The 83 mm and mm dimensions have become rare these days. The taps are quite expensive, they have to line up, and one is upside down, find a shop or local framebuilder who has one.
Though some shops may do the install for free or for a reduced fee if you buy the parts from them. As for a bottom bracket, on the low end, maybe miles. But sometimes you get unlucky and get a bottom bracket that lasts maybe miles. The bottom bracket is made up of 2 individual bearing rings and a center spacer piece.
You can also pry the threads out or remove them by slowly threading the bolt, depending on the crank arm type of your bicycle. Use a bolt or a spanner tool to remove and loosen the washers.
How do I know if my bottom bracket bearings are bad? Spin the crank while holding the bike with one hand. If you feel an obvious rumbling or grinding feeling, the bearing are wore out and the unit should be replaced. Very worn bottom brackets will actually make a grinding noise.
BB30 bottom bracket systems have very large bearings that press straight into the frame. Note that BB90 is a separate, Trek-specific standard which falls outside the scope of this article. To be totally clear, the processes involved for servicing press fit bottom brackets vary slightly from standard to standard, so the steps described here may not necessarily apply to your bike.
Turn the cranks to feel for roughness or play; feel for sideways play at the pedal end of the arm. These can take a bit of hoofing to get off, so reinstall the chain onto the big ring to protect yourself in the event of a slip and work with the bike on the ground if necessary for better leverage. With Shimano cranks, simply loosen the two 5mm pinch bolts, lift the safety latch and unscrew the retaining bolt. Drop your chain down off the inside ring; the whole right-side crank assembly might now simply push out.
If not, give the protruding end of the spindle a decent tap with the rubber faced mallet. Remove any dust caps, spacers or wavy washers and keep them in their correct order of position. The methods described here are essentially no different than those used for BMX bearing and one-piece crank removal. First, find a suitable drift.
Whatever you choose, the edge of the drift should be square enough for a good purchase without slipping. These special tools still basically rely on brute force and impact to get the job done, but they differ from a piece of hardwood and mallet in that they offer a bit more control and precision over the process. Retaining compounds, such as Park Tool RC-1, are a type of adhesive that hardens and expands once applied, creating a barrier and filling any gaps while providing pressure.
Retaining compounds are good at preventing creaking. However it may take more effort to remove, such as mild heat from a hair dryer. Installation of a press fit bottom bracket is similar to a pressed headset. There are a few tool options and all require a press of some sort. If pressing drifts are available, use them. The BBT The BBP If no drifts are available, press only one cup at a time using the flat plates of the pressing tool.
