definitely need some sort of vice for this. The Raleigh, one would hope,
would have English threads (stands to reason), which means that cup has
left-hand threads.

I think we should leave such legal sins for the vice squad, while we
use a vise in the shop to loosen right hand BB cup... all the while
noticing whether it has a right or left hand thread. Watching for
this helps enormously.

The proper tool bolts through the frame and is driven with a
1-1/8" wrench. No vise.

Dear Rick,

You lucky devil! This sounds like a
perfect opportunity to invest in one of
these vises, which rotate in two planes:

=A0=A0=A0=A0http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctafDisplayitem.taf?itemnumb=
er=3D5655

It's a bit like a bicycle workstand.
Mount it on the corner of a workbench,
and little will defeat it. I bought mine a
few years ago when my old vise mistook
me for Chalo Colina and broke. Couldn't
be happier.

Nice looking vice! I just may invest in one of those myself! Good bye,
Wilton!

In American English, sure, but over here it's a vice.

Therefore, moral Englishmen use cartridge bottom brackets.
