Would this remove a sealed cartilage bottom bracket ? thanks !

This kind of bottom bracket is different than the older type with two separate bearings. it's referred to as J.I.S. Japanese industrial standard. I used a little heat on the BB to be easy on the tool and it worked for me.

I used this tool to change a couple of different 530 chains. I did grind one side of the pins off before I pushed them out. They were not DID chains but stock chains, but it should not make a difference.

My Shwinn 112 upright occasionally makes a thumping sound once per revolution, so I've wanted to remove the shroud, and see if there's something in there that I can tighten. I've learned that you need something called a crank puller or bike press, this vid looks like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4r8PwKxAOM

No. I could not remove it. Don't think you would really want to anyway. Might make it easier to clean but might make it harder to seal.

Do you mean removing the swivel head assembly from the drive tubes or the swivel cone and bearing?

I don't think it can be removed without destroying it. That being said, I don't see how removing it would affect the operation of the crankset.

No. It doesn't. I bought the Shimano UN55 BB Square Taper Bottom Bracket for around $25. You will have to check the websites for how to accurately measure the BB for your bike.

Yes, the bracket base is held on with a machine screw on each side that easily can be unscrewed. I removed the base to screw the base in place.

Should be a pretty standard bike chain. I would suggest removing and taking it to a local bike shop for replacement. You can probably just lubricate the chain and continue using it.

Not at all ...my clamps were junk ..probably oil in it from manufacturing ..should go away ..

I believe the basket can be removed. But some disassembly near where handlebars attach would be necessary to remove a bracket if the existing bracket can't be repurposed for the bigger basket you have in mind. That said, the current bracket was preinstalled on the bike in the box, so I've never actually removed it.

It is possible. The best way to know is to measure your existing bottom bracket. You need to know two measurements: The length of your bottom bracket shell, which is the tube on the frame where the bottom bracket goes. This will likely be either 68mm or 73mm. Also, you need the length of the spindle where the crank attaches. Change this requires at least two tools specialized for removing bottom brackets and for removing cranks. Without these tools, the job is nearly impossible without damage to your frame and parts.

Yes, you'll to remove original bearing cup be careful not to damage it. Also will need a cable cover to protect fork lockout cable and will cut fork to prior length A bikeshop will charge about $10-25 to get it changed over

Will likely help gasket seal. Might be able to eliminate gasket with high end silicone.

I think it should. I removed a 5mm with it no problem, but there was still a little bit of the head left.

Yes. Move the seal to the side to expose the screw hole with gentle force. You should be fine.

1&7/8" I'm not sure about removal, the bit has a 6 sided shoulder at the socket which would lead you to believe It might be able to be removed with a boxend wrench and the socket wrench.
