To install the bearings
1. Apply a liberal coat of grease to the contact surfaces of one bearing and the drive side
of the bottom bracket shell (Figure 21).
2. Slide a bearing onto the installation tool.
+ Either side of the drive-side bearing is the “right side.” The non-drive bearing on GXP systems
has a lip (Figure 22). Install the bearing so that the lip faces in.
3. Press one bearing into the drive side of the bottom bracket shell (Figure 23).
+ To remove the installation tool, press the release tab.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other bearing on the non-drive side.

To install the drive-side crankarm
When handling the seals, avoid bending them. A bent seal will rub on the bearing,
creating drag.
1. Apply a light coat of grease to the bearings on the face and the axle contact surface.
2. Apply a light coat of grease to the metal inside of one bearing seal (Figure24).
