Fixed cup removal

hi, i am building my first conversion and am having major problems getting the fixed cup side of the old bottom bracket out. i have used the search, and google but just want to be double sure b4 i go to towm with the hammer to get this thing out. if it is english thread i should be turning the drive side cup clockwise to remove it. as per the park tool website?

Looks really weird but just try his improvised tool with the big bolt, worked wonders for me.

Halfway down the page under fixed cups.

Tried that and it didn't work. If all else fails take the frame to a local metal workers and ask them to tack a long pipe on to the cup for extra leverage, should only cost a couple of pounds.

I wd40'd one for about a month and it eventually came out, the iol had penetrated all the way, maybe soak it in something similar, sorry if you've allready done this.

Also try diesel instead of WD40 etc.

Hi guys, im new here but theres a policy of not starting threads until i have been here 24hrs and i really cant wait that long. I was hoping someone could look at the pictures i have posted and tell me how to remove the fork. Everything else is out, the wedge and the handlebars and the wheel is only on loose. If someone could help I would be eternally grateful.. Thanks

That big nut on the top of the fork; undo it.
