I bought a truvativ elita crank and gxp bottom bracket to replace my old shimano sora crankset. I removed the old crankset with no issues.

I began installing the gxp bb. I screwed in the drive-side bearing cup. Then I went to start the non-drive side cup and it wasn't catching any threads. I looked in there and it appears as though the protective tube has lodged itself in the bb shell. It is sticking too far through for me to start the other bearing cup, and when I removed the driveside bearing cup, the tube did not come out with it.

Any suggestions on what to do?
