If all you want to do is move an in-place BB over a bit you can certainly get by with just one wrench/spline tool. Just keep in the back of your mind the fact that the drive side is reverse-threaded and you loosen by turning clockwise. Loosen drive side/tighten opposite side in small

Now I'm confused. I need to shift the spindle to drive side about a millimeter..do I need two wrenches at once, or can I loosen one side at a time? Oy, I have no clue how Phils work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Installing a Phil BB even with two of their tools can bit mentally challenging. A run of the mill cartridge BB like an IRD is no problem because the drive side has a lip - so you just tighten it the recommended amount of torque and move to the other side. BUT, since the drive side of a BB

If the task on hand is to remove a Phil BB, take the frame to a mechanic with the tools and pay him/her a few bucks to remove it. Why buy tools that you’ll never use again? If you are keeping the BB and intend to use it long term you should celebrate the opportunity to buy more tools. That’s

IIRC, the instructions for mounting a Phil BB say that you can move the BB cartridge a couple of mm in either direction to adjust the drive line, but if a greater amount than that is required you should be using a BB with a different spindle length. And yes, it's much easier to mount one if

That's no fun Joe ! Do the bearings have any marking on them to identify the brand ? I know Tange does. Do you know anyone or have nearby a shop with tools that you could see if they fit ? Sometimes these tools are not up to spec., at least I've found that with Park. There's only the one
