not whack it, slow steady build of pressure. if you want to hit something, hit the BB shell at 90 to the turning.

Did it come out, Eric?

 

[eric_james]

Yes it did
I was being too careful with it, now next time I know what to expect
No damage to either the tool or the BB

Success! Pour this man a drink

50-80nm on a fine thread, yer they takes a bit to pop, but once they pop..........

at least it isn't press fit.
