I have a Schwinn labeled tool that appears to be 43mm on one end .. I tested it on the large nut that holds the chain ring.. The other ends looks to 24mm would be curious to know what that is for.. Doesn’t seem to be any nut that would be that size..

If your trying to remove the fixed/drive side cup, don’t even bother trying to use that type of wrench.
See thread, on removing bottom bracket fixed cup, the workshop forum.

I’ve never had much luck, removing the fixed/drive side bearing cup from a European type bottom bracket assembly. These thin wrenches are fine for installing the cup, but leave a lot to be desired when trying to remove the cup after many years in the field. So, with much frustration, I...

Ahh!
Yeah, I just use a large spanner, or adjustable/Crescent type for that.

That's how I do the really stubborn ones - put the flats in the vise and then use the extra leverage of the crank arms to turn the whole assembly apart.
