I'm looking for a BB tool to remove an old square taper BB.

Anyone know the part number for any manufacturer or a place that happens to have one? I can't seem to find one.

Like a Shimano BB, or something much older?

Typical bb in the 80's and earlier used the fixed cup/adjustable cup & lockring setup. The fixed cup had flats, the adjustable cup used a pin wrench, and the lockring tool looked like a crescent with a tooth facing in.

Around an 02 or 03 square taper.

Park BBT-2? Is that right from google?

Edit:
Also looking at this to remove said square taper crank:

Correct or no?

You fool! You want to remove the crankarm, not the bottom bracket!

ps. that park tool will work. i was thinking about picking one up myself.

I actually want to remove both.

New octalink bottom bracket and cranks will go on in their place. Sorry for being a confusing dolt.

I got this one. It is hollow so it will work work with any length spindle. Octalink, isis and square taper are all the same, though. At least get an isis one as they are deeper and will work with more spindles.

The hollow part is a huge positive, especially dealing with 125mm and longer spindles (like on bikes with 150mm rear hubs).

Assuming this bike is of the modern era, it should use this BB tool. I recently bought a Phil Wood which uses a different tool, and if this an old road bike, find the oldest road shop to take the bb off.

Bike is an 02 Fuji ACE road bike, sealed cartridge square taper bottom bracket.

I know that crank puller will work, thanks.

How's this for a cheap solution to getting the ST BB out and the Octalink in?

How's what?

How's what?

I meant THIS to remove the square taper BB and install the octalink one?

i like the BBT-2 due to being able to use it with a 3/8" torque wrench easily.

Bump-

Wanted to say thanks for everyone who helped out. I picked up the Park Tools necessary from Jim Mac at Downtube this weekend and swapped all the parts (with the help of a large hammer).

Thanks all!
