Having spent some time reading up on all the sizes and types of bottom bracket I was a little nervous that the one I had might be the wrong width - the thread I was pretty certain was correct though. I'd previously bought the correct ISIS-style tool and watched a couple of installation videos on youtube. It is amazing how much simpler things are when you can watch someone do it and explain the steps rather than deciphering tiny pictures scattered amongst instructions in 14 different languages.
So a bit of anti-sieze on all the threads and in popped the cups, non-drive first, then drive-side (remembering the reverse thread) and easily nipped up with the tool.
The cranks are only held in place by the allen bolt so they were very easy to pop in and torque up to the correct tension. It seems to spin pleasingly so another job ticked off the list.
