There’s carbon paste between the cups and post?
Does the post have a metal insert that the cups press up against or are they pressing into bare carbon?
On the Specialized post, it has an alloy insert bonded into the frame, so it’s a metal on metal interface hence the grease. I’d maybe wrongly assumed this post has the same bonded insert?
But if it’s clamping down into carbon then the carbon paste would make sense!
If it doesn’t look like this photo then my method might not apply. But changing the angle might be easier with the post in the bike to get a bit more leverage.
