Very nice BB in this frame and I dont want to damage it, non drive side came off as if it had just been fitted, I rarely deal with these BBs anymore so just need a picture of what I need to remove.

Its aluminium, my tools are geared up for steel...

Ta.

Is this a trick question?

My first choice would be a machine vice with flat jaws.
Or the BB tool for the steel version of this if it fits.
Or a large adjustable.
Make sure you turn it the right way!
 
+1 on bahco, bought a set of wide jaw adjustables for doing headsets have used and abused them for many many different things not sloppy at all.
 
Bottom bracket 'fixed cup' spanner. Full wrap around version.

I couldn't get my Specialised/White industries out and it used two =f them style a bit wider.
Nowt would budge them as couldn't get a good purchase.
Bought the Tacx one from CRC and put it round and made the job easy. It's odd how easy it was with a good proper tool, it surprised even me.
