Bottom bracket question from a press fit noob

[radam]

I've got a new frame on the way. It has a shimano press fit 92 bottom bracket. I'm moving parts from a frame with a gxp press fit 92 bb. Is there any reason that (with the right tools) I can't just swap the bb so I can still use the crankset on the new frame?

Alternately, will the Chris King gxp adapter work for this situation? (And not push the chainline out)?

How mfgs decided press fit was a good idea is beyond me...

I have successfully removed and reused a press fit BB with this tool. You could use a punch but marring the plastic cups is likely.

Is this the same tool as the headset cup remover? Or is it larger? (i.e. can I use my headset cup remover on a press fit BB?)

For less than $30 it worth buying a brand new bb92 GXP and installing it. Even with the right tools in the shop it's hard to remove a pressfit BB without damaging the plastic cups.

Are the presses that come with this designed to press in the bearings into the plastic cups for a PF92 setup? Or the plastic cups into the frame? (same question for removal). I've tried searching park tool's site and their instructions for the tool and it's not clear to me.

I'm not really interested in having to buy a removal tool, installation tool AND a bottom bracket. I will just buy a shimano crankset before I do all that.

Its not really worth replacing the bearings in the cups. This tool has what you need to remove the cups w/bearings and reinstall them. You will need a headset press or a homemade press with some all thread, washers, and bolts.

This. And pay a shop $25 bucks to face the BB then install it for you.
Do this once every couple years and it's a lot less money and hassle than buying $300 bucks worth of tools and fucking around with it yourself.

Thats what I was looking for actually. I was worried that the tool was for pressing bearings into cups and that I'd have to buy another damn tool to actually press the cups into the frame. The instructions for the tool only referencing installing bearings, so I wasn't sure.
