What Tool Should I Use
 
I'm looking into a new groupset and I want to put the parts on myself. I have the knowledge, but until now I've been using my school's bike shop tools. Anyway, what tool should I use to install this bottom bracket: Shimano Ultegra 6800 Bottom Bracket English (BSA).

Thanks,
Zach

The Shimano BB-R60 which covers 5800/6800 level uses a standard HT2 tool (i.e. a Park BBT-9) it also requires a specific adapter as the cups are smaller than the original HT2 BB's, this adapter is shipped with the BB, and is inserted into the tool (whichever brand you use)

Also remember to use Antiseize when installing the cups.

You will of course need whatever tools are required to remove the old BB, if present.
