What is the best BB tool for removing a Shimano Ultegra cartridge BB?
I have the correct Park BB tool, but it doesn't seem to sit 'deep' enough
into the cup to apply enough torque to loosen the cup. When I really start
to apply force, it gets unseated and comes out.

My personal method: start on the drive side, and use a bolt through
the center of the tool to secure it to the shaft; unscrew with a
wrench on the hex instead of a ratchet in the recess The non-drive
side will usually come right out without an argument once the drive
side is backed out a bit.

My Pedros BB tool requires some inward pushing force to be
completely seated; it then requires some force to be removed. Hand
force, not hammer force.

I second the Tacx tool - it's great.
