- Adapt your previous Bottom Bracket tool or make it from scratch. As always,parts should be cheap and readily available from your local hardware store.

I find a simple, cheap and you can find almost anywhere to replace the plastic parts is using woods, a bit difficult to aim but yay it's works.
I love your DIY series from Indonesia❤
Very nice tool. You probably already know but for the rest of us - when making a press fit in aluminum or steel you should be using grease to make it easier and you wont have seized / cold welded parts. Ive worked in automotive industry where they were pressing the bearings and water pipe fittings into aluminum water pumps for the corvettes/silverado pickups. The press machines always used alot of grease to press the bearings
Another great DIY video from this great human. Thx bro, nice.
Nice to see you cycling with your mates. Keep spinning!!
+Karel T Glad you like the vid Karel and the tid bits of riding with the guys,after all,its all about the ride hey?
Hello i did make a tool and it did work but after watching your video i am going to copy your one thank you so much.
Very good cycle channel ...bye from italy
This dude out here just being a genius :D
You inspired me and quickly ran out to Bunnings and got the items to make. Ill message you on fb as I found an irrigation fitting that needs no mod, and screws straight onto the tank access fitting. I think even better than you other DIY vid on the 3-in-one. Ill send you photos
Great thanx
I was going to make one, but I didn't have any of the hardware already. When I priced out the threaded rod, nuts and washers, with current high material prices, it ended up being cheaper to just buy a press from Amazon for $20 usd, and I didn't have to leave my chair.
It's much easier to do one side at a time.
not gonna lie..as a kid i totally would use a hammer..now days if i had to mess with something like that i would lay a small piece of 2x4 on there and hit it...with a hammer..:)
+mikieson On steel frames you would have not problems with hammer n wood blocks.
Great tool, which I will be making today. But WD40? Isn’t that a degreaser? Every time I mention WD40 on bike pages, it causes uproar 😂.
Love your vids! Thanks.
Have you considered doing a live Q & A session on UA-cam? I reckon your followers would love it!
+Michael Rush Would be good to do that but where I live the internet speed is too slow :(
On ally frames, it can help to heat the frame with a hot air gun.
my one comment would be, if we're not in Australia, I wonder what might be an alternative to a female, Hansen poly plug tank fitting? they're $43 on ebay.
unless its a carbon frame, you can just carefully press in by hand and then hammer it in w a mallet or phonebook, the interface is angled unlike bearings whcih go straight in and need better alighnment
also shouldnt you use real grease, i cant imagine the w40 will be good to keep water out, etc
+JogBird Yes you can use grease but not in carbon frames as oil can seep out of the grease and into the carbon layers.
Hooray no polypipe! :-)
Another great vid., next project should be that poor old vice, some grease at least!. Did it belong to Methuselah?
Haha. Found it at a farm when owners left...it was really rusty n ceased then
@@stevenleffanue .......and perhaps not much has happened in the interim
Could a 3/4” poly fitting be used?
For which part Matthew?
@@stevenleffanue For the female tank fitting polyplug...
It needs to have a flange on it.
nice.. a WD40 guy
Why didnt I know all this before deciding to build my own bike. LOL.... Waaaay over budget.
this is way too much effort for a homemade tool. Just use all-thread and washers. Use plenty of grease everywhere
