Am I the only one who spent 5 hours on a stuck bottom bracket?
Tried to pull an old Shimano cartridge bottom bracket out of a 90s Trek frame last weekend. The drive side cup just would not budge no matter what I did (soaked it in PB Blaster overnight too). I ended up having to rig up a homemade puller with a threaded rod and some washers because my Park Tool BBT-2 kept slipping. Honestly felt like a total idiot when a buddy told me later I forgot to remove the plastic dust cover first. Has anyone else wasted a whole afternoon on something that dumb?

Done that with a dust cap myself.

Did you put a little oil on the cap before you seated it... @william917? I’ve found that helps get a better seal, makes it way easier to get back on.
