I used a Rotor branded BB tool (same outer diameter). It is a bit scuffed but the crack was noted mid-ride, well before I removed the BB.

Plus it'll cure the impending BB Alzheimer's, glaucoma and PTSD.

It almost looks like it cracked when you removed the cup but who knows. Based on your mileage and at today’s prices, that bottom bracket cost $0.008/mile if I do the math correctly...pretty good.

True, pretty good $/mi in the end, frustrating nonetheless. I caught the crack when I went to inspect the crankset after noticing some noise during a ride, so the crack definitely didn't happen from removal.

Wow. Hat is off to you
