Is BB30 the same as PF30?

No — they share the 30mm spindle but differ in shell design. BB30 uses a 42mm bore with snap-ring retained bearings directly in the frame. PF30 uses a wider 46mm bore with press-fit plastic cups. The bearings are the same diameter but the installation method and frame compatibility are different.

What tools do I need to install BB30 bearings?

You need a bearing press (or a threaded rod with appropriate sized washers) and a bearing puller for removal. Snap rings are fitted with circlip pliers. Unlike PF30, a standard BB installation tool will not work.
