Product Information

Full details

The Park Tool BBT-47-16 is a precision-engineered solution designed for professional mechanics and home bike builders who need a reliable way to install or remove threaded bottom brackets with 16-notch fittings. Its key benefit is the high-quality, CNC-machined aluminum construction that ensures a perfect interface with compatible T47 and PF30 bottom brackets, preventing marring or slippage. One caveat is that this tool is highly specific to 16-notch fittings with a 52-54mm major diameter, so users should verify their bottom bracket specifications before purchase to ensure compatibility.

FAQs

Can I use an impact wrench with this tool?

No, it is recommended to use a standard hand ratchet or a torque wrench to prevent damage to the tool and the bottom bracket.

What drive size does this tool require?

The BBT-47-16 features a standard 3/8-inch square drive.

Is this tool compatible with standard BSA threaded bottom brackets?

No, this tool is specifically designed for 16-notch fittings with a 52-54mm major diameter, which is typically found on T47 and some PF30 systems, not standard BSA.

How do I maintain the aluminum finish?

Simply wipe it with a clean shop rag after use to remove grease and metal shavings.

Will this tool work with plastic bottom bracket cups?

Yes, but be extra careful with torque application as plastic cups are more prone to deformation than aluminum ones.

Troubleshooting

Tool slips out of the notches during installation

Ensure that the tool is pushed firmly into the cup and that the bottom bracket cup is free of excess debris or old grease.

Difficulty determining if the tool fits a specific bottom bracket

Measure the major diameter of your bottom bracket notches; the BBT-47-16 is designed for a major diameter of 52-54mm.
