What tool to remove this bb cup?

I want to remove this campag bb. What tool do I need to remove this cup and it is Italian thread so is it clockwise to remove?

You need a pin spanner and a lock ring tool to take both of these items off the frame., one backs off against the other.
Sorry but I can't remember the direction you need to turn. Awaits Tester...

Lockring tool to undo the lock ring, which is normal thread, i.e anti clockwise to undo, then a pin spanner to undo the cup, there is a park dedicated one, a campag one, and a park flexible one, like a tuning fork, which will also work. The R/H cup is the same thread (unlike british threaded where they are reversed)
You may well need a proper tool for that too, a big spanner.

Thanks for the help I will ask in the tool exchange thread to see if I can get a lend of these tools

This tool can also be used.

I don't think I would be able to get much force using those.

Lockring tool one way,

BB peg tool the other way

Sometimes you can adjust the cups by hand without a pin spanner. The spanner is handy as it can allow you told hold the cup whilst tightening the lockring.

Oh, and all threads are normal clockwise threads, ie. anti-clockwise to remove. Lockring first when removing!

many thanks

Put a piece of wood between the handles and you have enough force to remove the cup. Guaranteed that this works.

^^^^ i see what you mean. very good

even stubbon cups?

i can be anywhere central really..

you can also put two pins/nails/screws into two holes then use a screwdriver for a lever

edit - and a flathead screwdriver + hammer to remove the lockring

May I "pirate" this thread rather than openning a new one for a BB cup related question please?

I have installed a BB this WE on my current project.
The non drive side cup went in way too easily compared to what I'm used to. It is a british frame with british threaded BB shell, and I double checked the TPI reference on the cups, it is british as well. On the drive side, it went in with the usual little resistance, all well faced, perfect...

But as I said the non drive side cup when too easily, the first 2 milimeters of thread don't even engage the cup, it almost just slides in. Then the threads engage, but it feels very loose. Half way through, if you move the cup up and down, it has a bit of play.

I installed the BB regardless, and when the lockring is on, it feels firm, but I am afraid that when I ride the bike, the force applied to the cranks is likely to make it all move a bit, and possibly aggravate what seems to be like a tired thread within the shell.

Should I re-fit the cup using PTFE tape?

Or is there another trick I can use? It is a classic build, and this is a campag BB with campag cranks, it would frustrate me to go for sealed BB here, or worst, threadless...

Thanks!

Give it a go. Unlikely to hurt anything.

Thanks, I've posted this in current project too, will see what people say. Will buy TPFE at lunch time.

I've never heard of using PTFE tape on BBs, but for Italian BBs, I usually recommedn a little thread lock.

Noted... In this instance the TPFE tape was intended fill a gap, and prevent the play, but as someone said on current project where I have asked the same question, it will compress and will not prevent the play...

I did not consider thread lock, but I have some, I might experiment with it if this turns out to be frustrating... thanks for suggesting that...
