Anyone have a make-shift tool they have used for the removal of a fixed cup that has three slots in it? None of the bottom bracket tools I have--the peg portion of the tool--fit securely enough into a slot or all three slots so that it won't slip out. My only solution involves a punch and hammer, and in doing that, I know the slots will become rounded or smashed. What I'm wondering is whether any list member have discovered some sort of solution to this, beyond the hammer and punch routine--some sort of pliers or channel lock or pipe wrench or whatever-- and if he or she would share the experience with me.
The fixed cup is on a sixties frame and I think the bottm bracket is a Magistroni (at least the crank is).
Thank you.
Cheers.
