    It's possible your tool is too old and predates "pipe billet" bottom
    brakets. I have an older Park tool that works with square taper Shimano
    BBs but not Octalink or ISIS, probably same thing you have. I got
    one of this type which works on ISIS:

    You could probably mill out your existing tool if properly equipped.

    Sorry Paul, I thought so too.
    We have that tool. And a half dozen more.
    The FSA requires its own unique remover.

    Strange, I have an FSA Platinum Pro BB and that's the tool I
    used to install and remove it, worked fine for me. Perhaps there
    are different tool requirements for different models? That's the
    only FSA BB I have ever touched.

    Maybe there are two models?
    I was stymied by this one on a new Redline MonoCog Lite:
