Be sure to press the bearings in straight. Do not force the bearings into the cup. Wipe any last epoxy residue from the outside of the cup.
Once the bearings bottom out in the cups, do not apply any more pressure. Excess force can damage the cups and cause the bearings to spin roughly.
To remove the cups from the frame, pull the bearings out as shown in the Specialized Carbon Crank set Instruction Guide, then lightly tap the backside of the
cups in a circular pattern with a large flat surface. Do not use a screwdriver, as it may damage the cups.
Before installing new cups with new epoxy, remove any excess epoxy lips that may have formed at the inside and outside edges of the cups.
TECH TIP: Any thin epoxy residue that remains on the contact area of the bottom bracket shell should not be removed. This thin film of epoxy residue can
actually benefit the bond of fresh epoxy when installing new cups.
