Tools for square Bottom Bracket

[RdBiker]

I need a new crankset and a new bottom bracket for a hybrid city bike so I need to take out the old ones. I already removed the cranks (by force) but I need to buy separate tools to remove the BB since the tools that I use for my road bikes' BBs don't match. The BB is a square (Square taper) one.

I know that I need a 20 tooth bottom bracket tool like this:

but what else would I need to open and take off the bottom bracket?

Also, what kind of tools are needed to assemble a Hollowtech BB and a Shimano Deore Hollowtech MTB crankset? I'm going to buy those for the bike since I think that Hollowtech II cracks & BB would be too expensive for it.

The BBT-22 and a decent wrench with plenty of leverage, and some elbow grease is all you'll need for the old (square taper) BB. As for the Hollowtech.......Google is a wonderful tool.

You were on the right site in the 1st place for all that you needed to know.

Oh, for that square taper BB, you said you pulled the cranks "by force". Get a decent crank puller too, if you haven't already.

See if you can find one of these:

The Park tool is nice but the Tacx one locks on to the spindle so you can really apply some torque if needed. Also greatly reduces the chances of skinning your knuckles.

Thanks for your answers!

I added a crank puller to the shoplist and decided to order a Shimano UN26 BB and a FC M-443 crankset to replace the old ones. They should be compatible with each other but I couldn't be 100% sure so I asked the store to check it out.
