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
Assume you are trying to get the fixed cup off - I can't see it well from your photo but have you tried the ever popular punch and hammer approach? Not to imply being a butcher or anything but the hammer/punch can act a bit like an impact wrench and get things to loosen when just twisting doesn't cut it. Especially where there might be rust involved.
Got the Magistroni cups off my project very nicely that way - no damage to any surfaces!
