As subject heading, need to fit a new Campag BB but don't have the tool with me to check whether it's the same one as the Shimano HTII BB spanner - can anyone confirm or otherwise?

    A Hollowtech II spanner will fit an Ultra Torque BB cup. The only problem I've found is that the Truvativ GXP workshop tool which has the same spline pattern but has a deep chamfer on the inside doesn't engage properly with UT cups.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    If fitting new UT BB cups you don't need any tools at all - the instructions tell you to install them by hand. Tools only needed if you want to remove them, and I can't see any partivular reason why you'd do that unless changing to a different type of crank.
