The B Bracket as i mention is Press fit in a carbon frame- this upgrade will be a new a experience.
However i will need to purchase a suitable removal tool-
However while i'm at it the front D cable is internally routed through the Bottom bracket area then up to the front mount-(existing cable to replaced with it's outer sheath at this point.)
Any thoughts on a BB removal tool +
A press fit tool.
- Also grease type ?.


These will finish my component upgrade from 10 speed (105) to 11 speed (Ultegra) -

Photos to follow-

I appreciate your thoughts.

You could of course buy the dedicated Park Tools but you could equally make something up from threaded rod, nuts and washers. Should work equally well and save money. Plenty of videos on YouTube. The bearings just need to come out and go in evenly.

Removal tool - if you don't mind breaking the existing BB, a screwdriver+hammer will suffice.

Press fit tool - if you have access to a lathe it's very easy to make your own. If not, Life Line must have something that's good value.
