INSTALLATION PROCESS
Crank Removal
Before installing the BBS motor, your pre-existing cranks and bottom bracket must be
removed.
It is possible, as all bikes are manufactured differently, that your cranks and bottom bracket
may remove differently and contain different steps. However we have used a bike that is
quite universal to demonstrate the crank removal process to aid you.
Firstly, flip your bike upside down so it
rests on the seat and handle bars.
This will make working on your bike
easier. If you have a bike stand you
could also suspend your bike on the
stand.
Next, your crank bolt must be
removed. This can be done using allen
keys or the crank removal tool
provided in the tool kit, depeding on
what sort of cranks your bike has.
In our case we used the crank
removal tool combined with the multi
sized spanner as shown in the third
photo on this page.
