Press-fit bottom bracket designs are now ubiquitous and any shop or home mechanic that needs to safely and accurately install new press-fit type bearings into a frame's bottom bracket shell really should have a quality press and properly sized and machined fittings to get the job done. The BBP-1 is truly representative of Park Tool. Built for pro use, easy to use, and priced fairly for any level mechanic. Anyone who has, or who heard of someone who has, improperly pressed in a set of bearings and either ruined the bearings, frame or both, can appreciate that such a press system around $200 is money well spent.

Bearing presses aren't new to Park, and the BBP-1 bears the experience and lessons learned over the decades. An easy to use butterfly, spin on handle, as well as the slide-in end stop plate (yes!) both make the job easier and quicker than ever. The use of an 8mm Hex wrench to tighten from the non-handle side is simple and brilliant. The BBP-1 can handle bottom bracket widths from below 68mm, to beyond 150mm, range that covers just about every frame on the market. Park delivers this stout steel tool with 12 precision-machined bushings (6 sized pairs) that fit a full range of bottom bracket standards. See the list below for complete details.

This is a pro shop level tool. It is precise, and tested for 100% quality control. Not only will it make installing press-fit bottom bracket bearings easy and fast, but you will have the assurance that you have properly installed the them, maintaining bearing and frame integrity. Park Tool delivers more than just a great tool, it delivers safety and protection from lower quality tools or "improvised devices". Return to Top
