Review on πŸ”§ Wheels Manufacturing Economy Bearing Press: Affordable and Efficient Pressing Solution for Bearings by Jay Williamson

do not use to press in bottom bracket bearings

According to the description this tool can be used to press in bottom brackets, but it is actually used to press in bearings. Wheels Manufacturing sells a universal bottom bracket press kit. Use it when you need to press the bottom bracket. I bought this tool along with the Park Tool BBT-90.3 because I figured the mandrels that came with the Park Tool could be used to press a Shimano BB92 bottom bracket. Do not do that. The Park Tool nozzle diameter does not match the shank diameter of this tool. As a result, I found it *very* difficult to squeeze the cups evenly. Eventually I got it working, but never again. I had to buy a Shimano TL-BB12 press kit which costs about the same as this tool. Alternatively, you can use Wheels Manufacturing's universal bottom bracket press kit.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Negative side present
