Here is how to replace 1 piece BMX bike cranks with a 3 piece crank and a sealed bottom bracket. I also show how to Make a bearing press. It is easy to replace your 1 piece bike crank with a sealed bottom bracket and 3 piece cranks. Make sure you get
The right size sealed bottom bracket for your bike. The one in the video is American size. That is probably what size bottom bracket you have as well. The bottom bracket in the video is a Mechanik American kit with 19 mm bearings. The cranks are Sunday Saker cranks with a 19mm spindle.
Here is where you can buy a sealed bottom bracket and crank kit on Amazon:

Here is a 25 tooth sprocket to fit the crank set.

I believe the sleeve in the middle is more than just a dirt cove, it also provides a stop for the inner bearing races, so that when the crank bolts are torqued you don't put a side load against the bearings. Thanks for a nice crisp How-To. also "shut up Jimmy " has been added to the things I yell at the shop. haha.

I can tell that you took that original 3 piece off, then installed the 1 piece just to show how to remove it then installed a replacement 3 piece. That's alot of extra work and you deserve credit. I made a video on how to install a new 1 piece 10 years ago when there were not any videos on that and I'm glad to see there are more videos now. I got to say, WOW on the 500K views, in 10 years my video has gotten 53K. Then again I don't have 97K subs LOL No but really, GREAT video! I love how you showed how easy it is to make a bearing press to install cups the best way. I did use a hammer in my video but I did show how to do it carefully. Again, great video yo!

I had hard time to fit the sealed bearings bottom bracket cups into my 88 Haro Master bmx. I had to use a hammer and tap them really hard to get them in. I am sure it shouldnt be that hard to install them. I believe the problem was the sealed bottom bracket kit I bought, cups were bit bigger and needed to sand them down a bit. Worth spending a few $$ more to get a descent brand. Great video, whole procedure looks very easy to do, while I spend more than an hour to do the job.. I will get that DIY tool as well. :)
