    what BB? which cup?

    hammer and chisel.

    Or take it to your LBS.

    You are turning it the right way?

    see pictures on parktools.

    if yes then soak in Plusgas and try again or take it to your LBS.

    tbh, if you've started rounding it, then take it to your lbs before you get it wedged in the frame. Also, next time grease it before putting it in!

    If you want a new ISIS bb then the superstar ones look pretty good.
