FAQs

Can I use this tool on a 30mm bottom bracket?

No, this tool is specifically designed for 24mm spindle systems and will not function correctly with 30mm press-fit standards.

Is this tool suitable for carbon fiber frames?

Yes, as long as the tool is inserted correctly and pulled evenly, it is a safe way to remove components from carbon shells.

Does this tool come with a handle?

The removal tool is designed to be used in conjunction with standard shop tools, such as a hammer or mallet to tap the guide, depending on your specific service procedure.

How often should I lubricate the tool?

Lightly lubricate the moving parts and threads whenever you notice friction increasing to maintain smooth operation.

Is the tool compatible with SRAM Press Fit GXP?

Yes, it is compatible with SRAM Press Fit GXP systems that utilize a 24mm spindle.

Troubleshooting

Tool arms will not seat behind the bearing cup

Ensure the guide head is fully pushed through and that there is no residual debris obstructing the bearing lip.

The bearing cup feels stuck and will not move

Verify that you are applying force squarely and consider using a penetrating oil to help break the bond between the cup and the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning the removal process, ensure the area is clean of grit and debris to prevent contamination during the extraction.

For maintenance, keep the tool's threaded sections lightly lubricated with grease to ensure smooth operation. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Periodically inspect the expanding arms for any signs of wear to ensure the tool maintains a secure grip during extraction.
