The best thing about having cronic OCD regarding bikes is I could never have lived with the play/creaking that must have been coming from that mess without investigating before it was terminal!

It never ceases to make me chuckle/cry when bikes come in for something minor (usually a bit of cable stretch) and inconsequential to be fixed......and completely ignore all the major league important stuff that is actually wrong with it (usually blown shocks and/or seized/failed bearings).
And then blame the messenger,because 'it was'nt like that when I brought it in'

33mm hole saw. That's the trick - it'll shift almost any stuck cup. Or if it's a steel axle in a steel cup, I weld the axle to the cup, clamp the axle in the vice, and rotate the entire bike.
There are very few things you can't fix with an oxyacetylene torch - or make much, much worse

But if it was anything like mine, there was no undue noise or creaking. Like I said, I managed to remove all the alloy from the threads in the frame, the new BB went in smoothly,. but tightly, and it's been fine since.

Sure, no worries - as long as you give it back, unlike another bike shop who will remain unnamed. Swines
