Troubleshooting
Tool does not engage properly with bearings
Verify that the bottom bracket bearings are indeed 24mm or 30mm internal diameter. Ensure the tool's cups are correctly seated against the inner edge of the bearings.
Bearings are extremely difficult to remove
Check for any frame damage or corrosion that might be binding the bearings. Ensure you are applying pressure evenly and directly. Consider using a light lubricant around the bearing seal if appropriate for the specific BB type, but avoid excess.
Tool appears to be slipping
Ensure the tool is properly aligned and fully seated against the bearing's inner diameter. Re-adjust and apply pressure more deliberately and slowly.
