Hi,

Anyone have a good way of removing the bottom bracket cups from the frame ?

TwoBobRob:
Just the same as yer headset my friend,  all the rules apply.....

Especially the thumbs one.....  ;)

adeshere:
I was wondering if anyone had heated up the frame to make it easier

TwoBobRob:
No mate. no need when removing cups. A good hammer strike will do it.  You can however, when fitting cups,  bring the frame indoors (if it isn't already) and bring it up to room temp, and put the cups into the freezer for a few hours. this will make the fitting a wee bit easier  :)

Hit it with the hammer and screwdriver, nothing at first then pop out they came
