This tool can clear the oversized spindles of ISIS Drive and Octalink cranksets. You can operate it using an adjustable wrench or a 32 - mm socket.
Using the Park Tool BBT - 32 is quite straightforward. First, make sure your bottom bracket has 20 splines and a 32 - mm diameter. If it does, just fit the tool onto the bottom bracket. You can then use an adjustable wrench or a 32 - mm socket to turn the tool and remove the bottom bracket. When using the tool, be careful not to apply too much force suddenly, as this could damage the bracket or the tool. After use, clean the tool with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or grease. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. This will help keep the tool in good condition for future use.
