Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

How confident are you?

If it was my bike I'd gake the bottom bracket apart, clean it out good, and install new bearings in it. Using improvised tools, like dabac suggested, is fine. I wouldn't recommend buying special tools for this job because that BB design isn't common anymore and you'll probably never find a use for them again.
