Subject: Stripped the splines in my Campy cartridge BB
Well folks, I really did it this time. I attempted to remove the BB
on my 10 year old titanium ride and managed to leaving nothing for the
tool to hang onto. New BB for sure....how can I get the old one out?

TIA,
Mark

Great idea..as long as it's a English cup I guess but great idea.

Both sides, both cups?

If ya got one out, remove the guts, use a saw blade and cut the
remnants out, a piece at a time. If both in there, you can try
drilling holes into the cup/bb and make a pin tool type gadget and
rotate the cups out but gonna be tough.

This tool got my splineless Record BB cups out. It took about one
minute at the LBS, It's used to tap and face a BB shell but it can
also extract stuck BB cups.

Yep, that design isn't one of Campagnolo's better idea's.

Dril two 5-6mm holes opposite each other and use a large adjustable
pinwrench.

This you can improvise from flatstock: take a 40cm and a 10-20cm lenght
of 5x 25. Drill two 5mm holes at the end near the edge. Drill a pivot
hole in both pieces so the assembly resembles a large letter Lambda. Use
a piece of pipe on your handle is it is not long enough ;)

;-) I'm probably going to take some vice grips and see if I can grab
onto the drive side flange. If I muck up the frame I'll just take
some sandpaper to it.

Oh, that's a nasty one. I'd probably try to back it out with a hammer
and a punch and ruin the frame.

On the drive side try using a dremal tool or hack saw to create flats that
you can use an old style BB wrench or large adjustable wrench with.

Even the old hook style BB wrench with a notch cut into the lip of the cup
might be enough so you can remove.

Once the drive side is out, the other side should come out relatively easily
assuming you have some friction with the bb tool.

Next time use the crank arm bolt to hold the tool tight against the cup
splines.
