To do the job properly, you'll want to remove both cups.
A Park Tool HCW-4 has both the other tools you'll need, although there's not much leverage and it doesn't look particularly comfortable if you need to give it some welly.
The separate Tacx tools are longer and have rubber handles: drive side, non-drive side.
I love this thread.
So I need to remove my Shimano BB-7400 bottom bracket to attempt my first service and am wondering about what tools I will need. Looking at diagrams, I will obviously need a lockring spanner, which I have, but do you need a pin spanner to remove the cone separately? Also, would it be beneficial to remove the other cone with the two long flat spots to get to the other bearings, or should I just leave it on for a service?
