Hope direct.. they are about a tenner. I think they are the same fit as Campag, so you should be able to use a park tool.

Thanks fella, just having a go with some pin pliers I have, but no movement.
One thing that seems odd, to me, the drive side cup has LH stamped on it.
Can that be right?
I'm 'undoing' it by applying pressure clockwise..bike in 'normal' position.
Cheers

GGGRRRR>>ARSE
Just phoned Hope and
1. They don't sell direct
2. They don't make the tool anymore
I'll have to have a look a campag I guess?

 

[Harryburgundy]

Maybe this will fit...but £30 to remove a knackered BB :shock: :evil:
Oopps...no link.

Calmed down now...and taken the frame to my next not quite LBS. The first couldn't do it...fingers crossed.

LH stands for Left-Hand thread (undo clockwise), not left-hand cup! Similarly the non-drive (left-hand) cup will be stamped RH (Right-Hand thread i.e. undo anti-clockwise)
