And in the realm of overkill, there's a $10 Pedro's Bottom Bracket Holder
tool that makes it easy to maintain a good connection between wrench
handle/bottom-bracket-tool/bottom-bracket. It's basically an
easy-to-tighten-and-loosen bolt of appropriate length.

This is also what leftover wheel quick releases were created for.

You can thread a bolt through the bottom bracket tool into the spindle to keep
the tool in place, can't remember the size, maybe 8mm fine pitch. Then just
use a cheater bar over your adjustable wrench for extra leverage.

Maybe Rivendell snuck in French or Swiss threading? Both have
different thread pitch and French RH cups thread in clockwise, not
counter-clockwise. Or no, that's Swiss; French have different threads
but thread in like English ones. Or no, that's French. Or not.

My first thought was the same as Eric - make sure you are turning that
the right way. I have seen far better mechanics than myself get
crossed up on bb shells.
It's reasonably unlikely to do damage to the frame by torquing the
correct direction. I'd try to be aware of the tool fit on the
Yes, that's always a good reminder when you get down in those pedal parts,
and I shoulda mentioned that I did make sure I was turning it clockwise to
loosen. It's just a booger to turn.

Hey
I think I've heard all the tricks for removing, and will problably be
seeking an appropriately long pipe tomorrow, but I'd like your thoughts: Is
it likely that I could damage the frame of my Saluki or the bottom
bracket threads just by applying more leverage in an attempt to free the
