Seems like it's $21ish for the whole thing. Doesn't seem worthwhile to lube/refurb, just replace?
Any really wacky $$$ tools needed other than a torque?
And should or could I use something different?
That is a standard Hollowtech 2 external bottom bracket. Lots of options for which specific HT2 BB tool you go with - get the Park Tool one, the Pedro’s, the Shimano, the Abbey Tools, the Unior - if it were me, I’d look for one with a 1/2” drive so you can start it using 2 hands with a T-bar, then finish tightening with a torque wrench. You will need the little plastic spine pre-load tool for the non-drive side and a pretty robust (not rounded end) metric Allen socket or L wrench for the opposing Allen cap screws on the non-drive side crank arm.
