Thanks to everyone for the replies. Yeah, I've made sure I'm unscrewing it the right way but it's so siezed that the splines where the tool connects to the BB are now worn so much that the tool slips with even moderate force being applied, so I'm thinking the traditional tool method is out the window now.
The BB is fine at the moment so luckily its nothing pressing, I just know it doesn't have too much life left in it and this frame is too good to throw out with the BB so worse case the splines are completely screwed and the BB kicks it in, is there anything that I can do to remove the BB whilst still keeping the frame and the threading ok?
Thanks again guys.
