Thanks agreed bottom bracket is not coming off easy and aware of directional threads just stuck. I will get the crank arm in a vise and get the pedal off.
It seems my park tool does not fit the bottom bracket well the slots are shallow and hard to get a positive grip on. I might have to bring it in to a shop. I will some penetrant and soak both the pedal and cup and give it another go
