When breaking loose an obstinate or seized bottom bracket cup, pair the BBT-169 with a compatible retention system or guide pin to prevent the tool from slipping sideways under heavy leverage. Always apply a thin layer of fresh grease or anti-seize compound to your frame threads before installing new cups to eliminate annoying creaks.
