Default Removing Frozen Campy Record Bottom Bracket Cup (Right)

Kendall wrote:
I have removed the left cup of my Campy record bottom bracket and have
removed the bottom bracket assembly from the left side no problem. But the
right bottom bracket cup is frozen and the notches or splines for the Campy
tool are now stripped. The assembler must've used to much torque or didn't
prepare properly. Any other ideas on how to get this sucker out without
messing up the bottom bracket shell. The frame is a Pegoretti steel and the
BB has been in there for about 5 years. The shell doesn't seem rusty or
corroded inside at all. Just grease.

Thanks,

Ken


Had the exact same problem once. My solution was to take it to the LBS.
He'll use a tool that I think looks like a headset press. The right cup
came out in about 2 minutes using this tool.

Hope this helped.
