I've been overhauling an Italian frame and the non-drive BB cup won't budge. I've snapped the pins off my two pin BB spanner and tried the Sheldon Brown Nut'N'Bolt method with no luck. The BB is an OMAS "Big Sliding" with a Ti axle and cartridge bearings. I'm not sure if it is corroded or a thread locking compund has been used on assembly. Is there a beefier BB tool with 8 pins out there or does the house have any other methods I could try ? I've pictured some of the bits below, both cups are the same with a lock ring each side.
