Special tool for TOC BB?

[Griff2003]

Besides going at it with a flathead screwdriver, is there a specific tool they used in the day to get the nut off these? I’ll most likely have to make one if I have to. In process of breaking this bike down for refurbishing and would like to take it easy on her.

Just for fun can we have a picture of the whole bike?

The yellow Park Tool spanner is a modern means of addressing that nut...

Similar to the bendix hub tool.. Here are some suggestions for making your own tool..

You need a square pin face spanner- first one I could find is here:

Gibb Tools - Facom Caliper Face Spanner

Facom is an excellent quality French manufacturer., but keep haunting flea markets and other old tool sources. The Park pin spanners work well, but the round pins tend to pop out when used on slots.

Would the tines on the Park HCW-11 fit that fastener? As long as 23mm (approx 7/8") doesn't exceed the width, I'm guessing YES.

How stuck is that nut? The HCW-11 looks a little flimsy, and some reviews mention that. A long soak in the penetrating oil of your choice and judicious application of heat will almost always get something to move. Start with the tools you have then move on to the tools that are cheap and move on from there . If you can secure the bike frame well a brass drift punch should be in everyone's tool box and is a good start.

Not too bad the bike is pretty clean. Haven’t attempted to remove it yet, been letting it soak. Just hate to marr up the parts on old girls like this one. Going to start with what I have. And the most delicate way possible!! It’s rare I get one this nice.
