[lowe1677]

hi does anybody have a spare Park Tool HCW-4 36mm Bottom Bracket & Pin Spanner they would sell to me,im stuck without one as i cannot remove an old style cup and cone damaged bracket.
one same as in the pic.

If its damaged and you just want to get it out, stick the exposed part in a vice and turn the frame. Thats what I do.

tried that but it keeps slipping out,the vice i have isnt that good.

Ive got the spanners but the pins have broken. Happens to loads of them as its not really a great design. Can lend you it but will only help for one side.

Think i may just have to pay the very high price for a new one thanks for the offer though

are the pin holes on the left side all one size?its a 1990 topanga which has the knackered bb.

Think they are different sizes, hence different colours on the park tools:

i think these are cheap but, cant speak of the quality etc.

any 36mm headset spanner will sort the crank side. i'm hoping yours aint too seized. the pins were ok for installing and adjusting from new but when the going gets tough, the pins hit the floor!

I have a 36mm spanner it just doesnt sit right to get a good grip as the internal of the spanner is hexagonal shape and not round as in the picture above.
