Hi, I'm a noob trying to service a BB on a Klein Quantum and I need some
help. First, here's a picture of the Klein:

Here's its BB on the non-drive side:

The black ring is a thin rubber ring, with markings that read: 6003 RS
(and on opposite side) H.F.
The drive side looks the same as the non-drive side. The rubber ring reads
6003 RSR. On the BB's metal part (the "ring" that surrounds the rubber
ring, not the outermost "ring" which is the BB shell), it says
"PORTUGAL F(P?)AG 6003C3 HFS"
BB shell width is 75mm (measured with a ruler, so not exactly sure, but at
least within +/- .25mm).
My problems:
1) I need to remove the BB and don't know how. Can anyone id it and tell
me the tools I need?
2) I have a Campagnolo "Racing T" triple crankset (52/42/30) with square
tapers that I like to use. I looked on the net and found that it needs
111mm symmetric spindle length. Can anyone confirm this? Is it OK to use
a BB w/ 110mm spindle instead?
3) Can anyone point me to an online source for a replacement BB with that
width and that spindle length? The BB, aside from having too short a
spindle (I think it's for a double), feels tight and grindy and I have no
idea how or if it can be serviced.
4) Does anyone have the specs for the Klein, like what year it is and what
components it has?
Thanks in advance for the help.
