Yup, I used the tool and followed the provided instructions. Kontact you're absolutely correct something is causing it to flex when installed into the shell. Today I went to take it all apart and while I could get it started, the BB flexed/bound so strongly that the tool started stripping the notches on the cups. I couldn't get the thing unthreaded nor could I remove it from the frame. I don't think I over-torqued it as I was around the 20 lb-ft range (my torque wrench has a dial that goes in 5 ft-lb increments). At this point I'm going to take it to a shop and ask them to figure it out.

dddd nice, yeah my BB was working fine before, just a bit gritty. I thought I was being clever by converting to the Token but I might just be forced to go back to straight bearings.
