Enduro BRT-002 BB30 Bearing Tool

Product Review (submitted on July 28, 2016):

Was watching a how to? video on removing and replacing press fit BB's and they were using this tool. My first problem was trying to work out whether I needed this tool or the similar BRT-003, the answer is neither will do exactly what their video shows.
I was replacing the BB on my Yeti SB6C - so it has a Hope pressfit 30mm BB Yeti call it a PF92. I am running Raceface Next SL cranks which have 30mm shaft dia, so both the old (Hope) and the new (Raceface) BB's are effectively just bearing with a lip on them to stop you pressing them in too far.
The reason I purchased this tool was so I could wind out the old bearings as opposed to hammering them out, unfortunately it is impossible to do this because the BRT-002 tools sleeve is too small in dia and if you buy the BRT-003 the collet and pilot shaft are only suitable 24mm dis crank set ups. You would need to buy both tools and use bits from one to remove the bearing and bits from the other to press it in.
All that said if you are using any other PF BB this tool would be brilliant, in fact I used the collet and guide and knocked out the bearings in the old fashioned way (rubber hammer) and pressing them in was a doddle.
If your set up is same as mine its prob cheaper to buy the Park BB30.3 extractor and use a std press.
