i went to 6+ bike shops and all of them denied having the tools to face a bottom bracket. This tells me two things.
1. Shops either aren't what they used to be or they don't care anymore
2. Premature failure of outboard bb bearings (common complaint) is likely a result of poor installation and not poor design
