Fitting BB30 converter without a press?
Has anyone managed to fit this

without a press?
I've previously managed to replace the BB30 bearings without a press, but this seems to be more difficult.... I notice on here several people having had the same issues in the past. Maybe I should've just gone for a rotor or praxis converter...

It is not hard to do you need a length of threaded bar and some washers made of thick plate or round bar a little larger than the BB diameter and two nuts and wind it into place.
I go a bit further and grub screw it in place so it can not move round or sideways
to help the fitting process put he frame in a warm room for an hour or so and the insert in the freezer overnight.
DON'T HAMMER IT IN

Get two washers that are larger than the bb shell (all these items are available at B&Q) a bolt or threaded bar which is long enough to fit through the sleeve and empty shell and 4 nuts. Simple and cheap
Although I did do the freezer tip and it helped a lot.
I think it's probably about 1/4 - 1/2 mm out of alignment, but couldn't get it in any further (a frequent problem for me
I think you'll probably get away with that amount of misalignment. The only thing I think it could affect is the chainline spacing. Shims should sort that out.

Still, having done it, would advise people against hammering it in. If nothing else, the stress of it covered in loctite and not being sure if it will go was too much.
