Bottom Bracket Removed

From the remains of the bottom bracket I think this was a modern sealed job made by a company called Token. See www.tokenproducts.com/files/products/desc/p-48671fe91b47b....

 

The trick to removing the thing was:

 

1. Unscrew old teclamite nipple from bottom bracket shell. Punch through this hole with a screwdriver to break up the fibre inner liner.

 

2. Take a punch and knock back into the shell the remains of what I think were rings forming part of the bearing assembly.

 

3. Once bearing rings knocked back far enough take a hacksaw blade and very, very carefully cut down through the softer outer ring of metal forming the cups.

 

4. Once I cut away a small section then I could squeeze the remains of the cup inward disengaging the cup from the threads and remove them from the frame.
