BB installation - torque tool?
Quote | Reply
What kind of torque tool do you use to install Shimano Hollowtech II BB?. I've checked park tools and some other places but couldn't find it. Apparently it's very important not to overtight the Bottom Bracket but how can you be sure without a torque tool?

Any ideas anyone?

I suggest this tool:

VAR HollowTech II Bottom Bracket Cup Tool - http://www.biketoolsetc.com/...p;item_id=VR-BP99800

Or this one (a bit more expensive):

Cyclus HollowTech II Installation/Removal Tool http://www.biketoolsetc.com/...s&item_id=CU-197

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another option for the adaptor

The torque wrench you will need
Park TW-2: 3/8 inch drive

You can find torque wrenches at Sears and sometimes local auto parts stores

The tool you linked to is for the older style Octalink bottom brackets and will not fit the new Shimano Hollowtech II style bottom brackets like this:
