I don't have BB86 experience but I had the same issue with BB30.
Then I realised there was a circlip inside to hold the bearings in place.
The removal tool was hitting it instead of the bearings.
thanks, will check that again. I didn't see any clips in the manuals i checked but who knows.. Will probably buy a Parktool bb90.3, which should do the job..
