2005 Pinarello Most Bottom Bracket conversion

[ksshapiro@comcast.net]

I have a 2005 Pinarello Paris with MOST bottom bracket( isis
version ) installed and I would like to change this to be able to use
either a Hollowtech II spindle or even better accomodate standard
threaded BB cups. From what I understand this is an option available
through changing special pinarello inserts. My questions:

1) Disassembly instructions...where could I find them or is it as
simple as tapping on the axle to "drive" the bearing out of the other
side of the frame or do I need a press?

2) Where is the best place to buy special pinarello BB inserts/axle to
make the change?

3) Any chance there are bearings on the market that would press fit
into the frame that would accomodate a conventional integrated spindle
crank and eliminate the special pinarello adapters? long shot I know.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Kendall
