    Checking to see if anyone can loan a Pressfit removal (BB86) Hollowtech/24mm tool at all, and a tool for installing A pressfit BB86 gxp BB.

    Can get them separately from around the continent but no idea when either will arrive.

    I suspect I should leave it to the LBS though

    Could you press them one at a time with threaded bar and a large washer instead of a drift? Park Tool website recommend using the flat side of a drift if you don't have the right size, at least for 24mm bb.

    Alternatively, presuming the inner piece of the drift is 24mm, and the outer lip is big enough to cover the o/d of the bb, it would be easy to machine drifts for it

    I work near enough there so if I can get a removal tool I'd take you up on that.

    That's probably a simpler solution, but if for whatever reason it doesn't work out, my offer to machine them still stands, just send a pm

    Cheers. I have some threaded bars alright. I've found a removal tool that will apparently be delivered inside 2 days

    I have both a homemade Shimano one and a full kit for multiple press fit types I bought in a fit of stupidity.

    And just to be clear, I was implying you could borrow them, not just bragging about it.

    I can help you if you wish, I have the tools. Where are you based?
