What kind of tool do I need to remove this bottom bracket?

[Michael Shaffer]

I already have the park BB-2 but it doesn't seem to fit this one.

I don't know what a Park BB-2 is, but your BB looks like a standard loose
bearing type. You need a standard hook-type locknut remover to remove the
adjustable cone (your bb1 picture). You may need a vice to remove the fixed
cone.

Ok, I just took it out

I guess I'll just try regreasing it and see if the creak goes away.

Re: Shows traditional cup-and-cone bottom bracket with a 3-notch
lockring.

I think I have managed to remove these with a pin-spanner and extreme
care - as long as the lockring isn't too tight - but lately I found my
Raleigh SPORTS multi-tool, which is just a piece of stamped
high-carbon steel, with a semicircular lockring jaw and one tooth -
will pull these lockings off faster than sh*t through a goose ...

I use the Park lockring tool with a hammer to get high-impulse force to
break the threads free on tight lockrings.

Examine the cones closely. Last BB creak I had that would not go away
was due to the cones wearing very oddly.
