I would like to ask advice from you.

I asked Rotor if i can undo just the bearings (and possibly the cups) of this BB, so i can leave the sleeve intact (seated/ fixed inside the frame).
This to do maintenance on bearings and/ or eventually change them.

To my surprise, Rotor does neither supply the bearings or the "special tool" for this.
I find this an evil act from Rotor. It simply is best to remove bearings for maintenance and it's also better if we can leave the sleeve inside the frame and exchange just bearings when needed.

So my question is basically, is there anyone who knows where i can get this tool in spite of Rotors ideal, not supplying this?

Any suggestions be it here or a PM would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

With the cranks removed you can pop the seals with a blade and flush and service the bearings. No need to remove the cups or bearings unless you need to replace them.

But that was the idea, to be able to exchange them.
