    Press fit bearings 'should' just tap out.

    In reality they never do (easily)

    I changed them twice on my bike. Nothing complicated at all. I have got the removal tool (could do without one in fairness), and I made a simple press-in tool myself with the use of the dedicated rings, which I bought online.

    If you are located near my place, you are welcome to borrow my set or bring your bike, we can get our hands dirty together in my living room :D.

    Sorry to jump in late.

    Have rough drive side BB30 bearings and wondered if I could borrow your tool set? I've sent you a PM.

    I can't decide wether to replace like for like the BB30 bearing assembly kit or go for the PressFit30?

    Thanks.

    Hi Ashleey,

    There is no problem, you are welcome and I responded to your PM.
    If you can bring your bike to my place, we can replace the bearings together, while having some tea :).
