My Wilier has a stuck right cup BB. At the moment the cranks spin fine. 
It has an FSA Mega Exp crankset that is the one that is not pinch bolts 
but uses self extracting allen key to put on drive side crank arm. Has 
the wavy washer in the set up. I think that is why the bearings went bad 
because it allows moisture to get in not sealed like a regular shimano 
crank and external BB.

The BB is of course and external BB from FSA. The let side cup bearings 
went bad so I used a Shimano BB60  cup because I had a spare one. The 
crankset works beautiful now. However I would like to simply try and use 
the whole Shimano BB60 bracket. I cannot however get the right side cup 
off. I realize it is left hand threaded but it is really stuck. I tried 
putting in a vice and using the bike to turn but no luck. I have managed 
to chew the notches pretty good but it will take the wrench at this point.

Any suggestions on how to get the cup free. I actually think it would be 
easier to simply hacksaw the cup and take it out but I don't want to 
mess up the treads in BB of the bike. I will take any and all 
suggestions on how to get this cup off. At the moment the cranks spin 
fine because the bearings are fine on the right side cup but I just 
don't like the set up. I may even go to a shimano R7000 crankset. ]
