Apply wd40 and ice. Double check the remover is against the cup and not caught on the shell somehow. Whack it harder.

This bit is important, do it everytime you need to adjust the remover, otherwise it can be an expensive call to a carbon repair place. It's also much easier to remove if you've got someone or something bracing the frame against the direction you're whacking.

Forgot to say thanks. Built a support out of wood I had lying around, soaked it in WD40 and it came out eventually. Ironically the noise I was trying to address turned out to be a VERY rusty headset lower bearing which I've cleaned up and greased while I wait for a replacement.

I'm trying to get a press fit bb out of a carbon frame. I've got one side out with my BBB "whack it with a hammer" extractor but the other side won't shift.
Any ideas on what to do other than taking it to the LBS?
