SRAM gxp bottom bracket
Waiting for the Apex crank and GXP bottom bracket I ordered to arrive. I'll be replacing the square taper cassette BB on my bike. I have the tool for that, will I need a different tool to install the new SRAM cups?

Was in the same boat your in, replacing SRAM apex powerspline with an SRAM force GXP. Another member of this forum was kind enough to post this link to help me out.

The sram GXP bb cups use the same tool as a Shimano or FSA external bb does. You can pick one up from many places including Park Tools and Performance Bikes (SpinDoctor) for around $10-15$ IIRC.

Thanks for the link. Looks pretty easy compared to some other systems.
