Launched in late 2014, generation 3 BBs feature replaceable bearings
 - 
                     
Bearings can be replaced on BSA threaded, PF30 and BB30 bottom brackets
 - 
                     
Due to fit constraints BB92 bearings cannot be replaced as the bearing itself presses into the frame

To remove bearings, use a Park Tool headset cup removal tool
 - 
                     
Slide the tool through the BB cup until it sits on the lip of the bearing
 - 
                     
Tap the tool to remove the bearing

Remove the bearing and seal from the cup
 - 
                     
Clean the inside of the cup with alcohol

To install the new bearing, lightly grease the inside of the cup
 - 
                     
Lightly press a new 6806 bearing into the cup

Using a BB30 bearing press, press the bearing into the cup
 - 
                     
Be sure the bearing goes in straight
 - 
                     
Here we are using an Enduro tool, but tools for BB30/6806 bearings are offered by many major tool manufacturers
 - 
                     
Press the bearing in until it stops against the back of the BB cup

Install the outer seal by pressing it into the cup
 - 
                     
The red side of the seal will face out
 - 
                     
Working around the outer diameter of the seal, tuck the lip of the seal into the groove in the BB cup
 
 - 
                     
 - 
   
   
- 
                     
It may be necessary to use a tool to ensure the seal is fully seated in the groove
 - 
                     
Wiggling the seal side to side in the cup can make it easier to seat the seal
