Leaving it in place isn't an option.
Especially now that its received the lump hammer and brass bar treatment.
Sorry that's not helpful but you might be stuffed - epoxying stuff in to carbon is a really bad idea unless you want it in there for ever.

Press fit direct into the carbon, or into an alloy sleeve which is bonded into the frame?

Any top tips for removing an aluminium press fit bottom bracket from a carbon frame when the halfwit who installed it (not me this time) has used epoxy to keep it in place? I've tried heat (hot air gun) and Brute Force And Ignorance (pounding away at it with a lump hammer and a long length of brass bar) and it's not budging. My current plan is to cut it into sections (carefully) and then try and peel it out in bits, but any suggestions for better plans will be welcome.
Leaving it in place isn't an option. It's a Rotor 4624 bottom bracket for 24mm axles, I'm fitting a 30mm axle crankset, and I'm all out of negative shims.
