A precision bearing press for accurate installation of BB90, BB30 and BB86 press fit bottom brackets. The LifeLine Press Fit Bottom Bracket press is ideal for new frameset builds and BB replacements. Essential for workshops and committed home mechanics.

Top Features of the LifeLine Press Fit BB Installer

Installing a new bottom bracket can give your bike a new lease of life after moulded seasons on the roads and trails. However, pressing the bearings into the frame incorrectly can damage both the bearings and the bottom bracket shell.

LifeLine Press Fit BB Installer is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 74.
Rated 4 out of 5 by moleman from Good tool I had to deal with the removal of a seriously tight bottom bracket so i knew it was going to be a challenge installing the replacement bottom bracket. There were lots of scary twanging noises while the bearings were going into the frame so you were never quite sure when the bearings were fully located but the tool gives you some feel. so far everything seems to be ok with no issues.

For removing too?

Will this tool be all required to remove the old bottom bracket?
Asked by: Tefoonez1972
Sadly not, you need to buy a specific bb remover tool. I k ow it’s expensive but the park tool extractors are excellent

Looks Identical to my BB71 Bottom Bracket and it worked perfect for that, so i"m going to say you will not have any Problems as you get various Fittings for Different Bottom Brackets.
