It also says to allow 24 hours to cure and if you need to disassemble, to follow normal disassembly instructions. I don't know if the 641 is hard to find or not.
Campy recommends getting all the greese off the threads before torquing it or locktiting the threads.
The frame is my steel Simoncini. I certainly can tell you the Veloce BB was difficult to get out - required a pipe on the wrench to get it free.
