Well then somebody better tell FSA's Warranty Department, those are not what the
instructions say ...
Install the R. bearing cup and alloy middle spacer.
Tighten cup to 400~500 kgf-cm / 39~49 N-m /
29~36 ft-lbs / 39~49 N-m / 29~36 ft-lbs. (Use
FSA cup tool part no. E0102 or Park Tool part no.
BBT-9)
(3), (4) Install the L. bearing cups and rubber shell
spacer. Tighten to 400~500 kgf-cm / 39~49 N-m
/ 29~36 ft-lbs.
(5), (6), Install O-ring fully onto the axle of the R. crank.
Install one triple spacer.
(7) Gently and completely insert the R. crank through
the BB cups.
(8), (9) Install O-Ring and triple spacer on L. side of axle.
(10), (11) Grease the threads and washers of the M18
fixing screw. Install the L. crank onto the axle.
Tighten the fixing screw to 350~400 kgf-cm
I had one other small problem. The screw at the bottom of the BB shell, that
holds the shifter cable guide, interfeared with the installation of the aluminum
spacer. I had to back off on the screw, then install the spacer, then set the
screw back.
