Hi All, any idea what tool fits this old clunker ? For a friend not mine.
Probably something like this...
I doubt that Cyclo FAG tool will work (I have one) as the 'teeth' are positioned at a diameter bigger than the BB shell. I've looked on Park Tools and others and can't see anything suitable - used to work as a bike mechanic so I've removed many. One option would be to weld a piece of steel square bar across the cup and then put it into a bench vice - heat and penetrating oil may be your friends.
Hmm, yeah you're probably right about the diameter.
Maybe a chunky pin spanner? Though it looks like it might be quite corroded.
I had a ACS Crossfire freewheel with 6 notches. The tool for that might work as it's a smaller diameter...
What frame is it and do you know what year? What cranks were in it? Might help us work out what it is
A screwdriver and a hammer.
