Bottom bracket tool
I am working on a 2005 GT Avalanche 3.0 mountain bike that needs a bottom
bracket adjust. I've pulled the bottom bracket lockring, and am now faced with what looks like a bottom bracket that needs a 6 prong tool to adjust the bottom bracket. The 6 notches will require a tool that has 6 things that stick out, if that makes any sense. This is the first time I've seen one of these style bottom brackets. Can anyone tell me what tool I need to make this adjustment? It also looks like I am going to have to pull the crank arm to effect the adjustment...oh joy. Anyone know the manufacturer / model of bottom bracket on this bike? I have a question into GT on this, but so far no response from them. Cheers, Paul |

"Paul Scrutton"(clip) The 6 notches will require a tool that has 6 things that stick out, (clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Aren't the notches evenly spaced? Why wouldn't a tool with 2 things that stick out work? |

According to the GT website: Crankset: Suntour XCC-100, 48,38,28 Bottom Bracket: Sealed mechanism with Boron spindle Which isn't really helpful. Could it be one of these: http://www.parktool.com/tools/BBT_4.shtml ?? Jeff |

It's definitely not that tool, as notches on the tool don't extend down.
Well there are 3 that do, but they don't serve the purpose needed for this bottom bracket according to that website. Paul "JeffWills" wrote in message oups.com...
