1974 Raleigh Sport. Right-side fixed BB cup. I don't need to
remove it, but I don't want it to defeat me either.
I tried drilling partial holes in the cup for a pin spanner,
but the cup is very well hardened.
To try a bench vise, I'd have to remove the vise and mount
it somewhere farther from the wall...
Per http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/bbcups.html the nut-washers-
bolt tool like http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tooltips/images/bbtool-
bolt.jpg tightens real good on the bike, but with _lots_ of
torque, continues only to tighten to itself, never turning
the BB cup. It's probably a
1/2" bolt, with a single flat washer on each side.
Which direction is this cup threaded? Are there any other
tricks for removing it?
