Removing Frozen Campy Record Bottom Bracket Cup (Right)
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 |

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. Also check that they know whether it's right-hand or left-hand threaded. Once had the LBS clamp that tool in a vice so they could get two guys to use the whole length of our tandem frame as a lever. I suggested that before applying that much force they check to see if the threading might be the opposite way and the cup came right out. |

Although I wrote it up, I didn't invent it, and I'd imagine that trick is older than even I am!

I have the same problem, and my LBS can't look at the bike for 3 weeks. Cheers Pete Hope this helped. Kenny Lee |

I don't happen to know what the tool is called either, but you might
look for "Loose Screws" in Google. It won't be cheap... Peter C told me to get a Dremel tool and a bunch of emory cutting wheels. Start cutting wedges out of the cup, and you can eventually get it out. Be careful when you're cutting near the threads. You will want to get your threads chased once you're finished. (If you absolutely can't wait for the LBS to use chasing tools on it, find an old steel cup and CAREFULLY see how it threads. Mess up here -ie, cross thread it- and you really have problems!) Whatever, I rescued my '71 Raleigh Pro frame this way.
