Why are you trying to tighten the cup when the lock ring is still in place (and probably preventing you from tightening the cup)? Remove the lock ring, then tighten the cup, replace lockring.
As an owner of a Diamondback Outlook MTB, I can really feel for this guy. Same feelings towards my bike, I hate it so much. I keep replacing things on it just to see if there's anything that can redeem it in any way before I leave it in a dumpster and joyfully witness its transformation into a tiny aluminum cube as I'm sipping a margarita.
As rusty as that chain is, you’d probably want to replace those bearings. It looks like they’re totally gone. Bikes become junk when you refuse to perform even the most rudimentary maintenance.
Adapter socket above is for sealed crank-bearings, but presence of lock-ring usually means adjustable bearings. Perhaps worth checking by removing crank bearing shell first. If the latter (adjustable) high torque would cause failure (cracking) of bearing shells. Wondered if tool was designed to slip to prevent over-tightening?
I bought this crank puller tool and its made in the U.S.A. I want ya'll to look at the welding on this tool,I can't believe that this was made in America.I'm not talking negative about your video because it's a good one but the tool is what I can't believe. It looks Chinese made. Thumbs up on the video buddy, very informative.
I think I found that bike its a diamond back with the same problem. I was hammering away at the crank arm when i said let me you tube this shit and low and behold there's my bike same issue thanks for the info and for tool schooling me i will be replacing the crank set I like the size of the frame and it was free I found it leaning up against a trash can. lol great video.
How about removing splined nut, examining the thread engagement, If there are tapered bearings , add a washer or spacer to prevent splined nut from bottoming out? I have this prob on my quarry ridge roadmaster 29" , It came this way with the bike brand new. Really ruins my riding outlook.
faaark, the dangers of following youtube how to videos made by amateurs... just stripped one of my crank arms... Remember to reset the crank removal tool after you have removed one side and before you start the other side, as even though you hand tighten the tool and then firmly tighten by wrench, if the plunger on the tool has not been retracted back to flush or less, then even though it is tight is has not reached the bottom of the crank thread and then when you attempt to remove the crank it will strip the crank arm thread :-( Corollary - only follow videos that appear to be in a workshop environment and when the poster gives some credentials and experience summary eg. I worked in a bike shop for 5 years, and made this video to blah blah; also look for lots of warnings and a detailed explanation of why you should and shouldn't do certain things; not half explanation... :-(
Ok people / newburghbmx, to tighten up this "SHAFT" -bottom bracket, the rust on the on the sprocket denotes a far side cartoon scenario. REMOVE THE CRANK COMPLETELY, clean, & if things seem seem redeemable, LUBE & reinstall.

"I don't care... I hate this frame, I hate this bike, it's stupid!" really made me laugh :v
Exactly how I feel about the POS I will be maintaining the bottom bracket on!

Man I love your candor!!! Great video with comedy!!
Nice video, I have some tool that I didn't even know what they are for. Now I know thanks to you.
Thanks for recording this instructional vid in a hurricane wind...🌬
All those tools costs more than that crapy bike tho....
hahaha.
iced cream lol
True, but that's kind of the point. The tools pay already paid for themselves when you consider the cost of bringing your bike into the shop.

The quality of the tool matches the quality of the bike!

Last time chain was lubricated was 1997.
Thanks for uploading this vid - now I know what tools I need!
Have you tried tightening the drive side cup? It may be loose. I come across it many times.
Thank you for this video!!!
Never thought I’d find a video for a cheap piece of shit bike like mine

what about my kent 700c lime green road bike? I have no idea which way to turn it.

How are you able to get the cranks off once the threads are stripped? Thread chaser?

P.S. Julia Childs is when you chop your arm off in the kitchen
Use a Hammer & flat screwdriver to tap the Outer lock ring CCW
Then turn the inner ring CW till "SNUG" before locking outer ring back down CW
push your bike up against a wall while pushing on & turning the spline tool CCW."I hate this frame,I hate this bike.polishing a poo..."
I see all kinds of rust. Wow !
Thanks for video!
