Do I need to buy anything else to use this tool?

What are the dimensions of the notches it fits?

It fits 16-notch fittings with a major diameter of 44–45 mm and a minor diameter of 42.7 mm.

What is the warranty period for this tool?

Is this tool suitable for press-fit bottom brackets?

Troubleshooting

Tool does not fit bottom bracket notches

Ensure the bottom bracket has a 16-notch fitting and that the tool's major diameter (44-45mm) and minor diameter (42.7mm) match the lockring. Confirm it is not a different notch count or a press-fit style bottom bracket.

Tool slips during use

Clean both the tool's notches and the bottom bracket lockring thoroughly. For best results, use the Park Tool BBT-RS Bottom Bracket Tool Retaining System (sold separately) to secure the tool to the bottom bracket.

Difficulty removing a tight bottom bracket

Ensure the correct drive tool (ratchet or torque wrench) is firmly engaged. Apply steady, controlled force. If extremely tight, a penetrating lubricant applied to the threads (if accessible and appropriate for the frame material) might help. Always use a torque wrench for reinstallation to the correct specifications.

Tool is sticky or hard to turn

Clean the tool and the bottom bracket lockring. Check for any debris or damage to the notches. Ensure the tool is properly aligned and not cross-threaded.
