Park Tool BBT-79.3 Bottom Bracket Tool

Bicycle bottom brackets occasionally require removal for service, replacement, or upgrading. The Park Tool BBT-79.3 is a precision CNC-machined aluminum tool for the installation and removal of select threaded bottom brackets with 12-notch tool fittings, including SRAM BSA DUB, Race Face Cinch, Rotor BSA30, and others. Manufactured in-house by Park Tool, anodized for easy identification and featuring a ratchet/torque wrench-compatible 3/8" drive. The BBT-79.3 features integrated threads for full compatibility with the Park Tool BBT-RS Bottom Bracket Tool Retaining System (sold separately). The BBT-RS uses an adjustable spring-based tension system to apply consistent, adjustable pressure to the tool, ensuring full engagement with the tool fitting and preventing slippage. Fits 12-notch threaded bottom bracket tool fittings with a major diameter (outside of notches) of 45-47 mm and a minor diameter (inside of notches) of 44 mm, including:

  • SRAM BSA DUB
  • Race Face Cinch
  • Rotor BSA30
  • Zipp Vuma
  • Hawk Racing BB3086
  • and more

Park Tool: Your Guide to the World of Bottom Brackets

Confused by what bottom bracket tool you need? You're not alone. Between all the standards, installation methods, and tool fittings, it can all seem a bit overwhelming. Whatever you do need, Park Tool makes over 40 different tools to aid in the removal and installation of bottom brackets. Here's how to determine the correct tool for you, if you have an threaded or thread-together bottom bracket:

measure bottom bracket specifications standards

Count Splines/Notches

Remove the crank and inspect the bottom bracket shell for tool fittings, which can be notches or indentations on the outer perimeter, splines on the inside perimeter, or pin holes on the face. Count the number of tool fittings on the cup.

measure bottom bracket specifications standards

Measure Diameter

Next use a caliper to measure the diameter or width of the tool fittings. For external notches, simply measure the outer diameter of the bottom bracket cup or adapter. Take the measurement in millimeters.

Great quality tools from Park Tools as always. Yes, there are cheaper options but if you want to get the job done correctly then buy once, cry once. The BB tool fits the SRAM BB perfectly and grips the bb giving you confidence that you won’t damage anything. Solid performance!

Parktool makes the best bike tools and this one lives up to that. The trick is finding exactly the one you need. I like this socket wrench version of the tool as well for torque control.

The price is a bit high, but unfortunately, I needed to remove my SRAM bottom bracket, so I had to pay for it. I was concerned about buying a non-Park Tool version due to the inconsistent reviews I saw. You just can’t go wrong with Park Tool!
