Bottom Bracket Tools

Which BB puller is Right for Me?

If you have a pressfit BB made by Shimano then good news, you can use any of our three types of puller!  Just select the 24mm/Shimano Pressfit version.  Any of the three tools will remove the whole Shimano Pressfit BB.

For other BB we offer three types of bearing puller, the 'wind-out' type, the 'tap-out' type and the 'blind wind-out type':

The 'wind-out' type requires a recess behind the inner race of the bearing for the tool's inner drift to fit into (say a recess 5mm wide and deep), and the tool needs a surface around the bearing for the tool's cup to rest on (the cup will have an ID of 39mm or 44mm)

The 'tap-out' type grips the inside of the bearing.  It is useful when the wind-out type cannot be used because there is no recess behind the bearing or no surface around the bearing for the tool's cup to rest on.  It can be tapped out from behind with a hammer and drift, or combined with our super convenient slide hammer

The 'blind wind-out' type blends the two other types of tools.  Like the wind-out type it can remove bearings without a hammer, and like the 'tap-out' type it doesn't matter if there is no recess behind the bearing's inner race.  However, it still needs a surface around the bearing for the tool's cup to rest on.  

In each case (unless you have a Shimano Pressfit BB) the above tools are designed to remove the bearing from the BB, rather than the BB cups from the frame.
