I have a horrible feeling I'm going to end up having to cut and file the damned thing out.
I guess caustic soda isn't going to be too nice to the crabonz...
I can't imagine you are going to end up with a great surface on which the new BB is going to press in to if you cut it out?
If it's not dead, I'd be looking for a 24mm crank and cursing the guy who thought gluing it in was a good idea

I'm working on the assumption that once I get it out I'll need to Loctite the new bearing cups into place, and possibly use a thread-together BB. I thought about just getting a 24mm crank, while the 24mm BB is still reusable, but I've got two Rotor 3D+ cranksets with P2M power meters on them, and I can't really justify getting another P2M crankset. I have, ahem, enough already.
Caustic soda isn't an option I'd really want to adopt - fine for a steel frame, but pouring caustic into a carbon frame seems a bit risky.

The brass bar is a nice close fit in the BB cup, and I've been lamping it from the reverse side, so the recess for the bearing is untouched. Still won't fit a 30mm axle though. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to end up having to cut and file the damned thing out.
